I remember this one , I like this new version ! You acoustic guitar really shines in this mix .

Nice keep'em coming - James

Fantastic performances and mix! Wow! 

I like the way the acoustic guitar sounds in this song. The arrangement is pretty good too. great tune

hey guys/gals, thanks for continuing to check this one out, i thought it had faded away, and missed these recent comments

thank you for listening...
the guitars were making me 2nd guess....
because, it's a single guitar part, but it's played 4 different times, on two different guitars

i liked the phasing of all the strings together, with the different timbres, made it sound almost like a 12-string, even tho it's a standard 6

and i thought it may be overkill, when really one guitar tells the story...
but, the way it's panned, and played slightly different from each part, 
i thought it would fill out nicely.
so, i'm glad it's working out



Janet
thanks, i appreciate that!

glad you like this mix...
i used a Taylor 414 full sized auditorium for the parts panned hard left and right, and i used a Seagull Mosiac Artist for the 2ndary rhythm parts that come and go and fill out the midrange, and they are panned more like 50% left and right.
a single mic on them, i just position myself til i hear it good in the monitors/cans

i know where the sweet spot is on the taylor, the seagull was a bit trickier.

Heya Bat, great tune, sounds excellent on my HR824s. I get the feeling I still mix too quiet on my final mixes.

Cheers,

Tony

thanks for listening....
glad you cranked it on 8's, i assume if i had low end issues, they'd show up quicker on an 8" woofer.

i mix loud and quiet... to determine how things sit.

and i check mix with headphones (akg K240 II) and earbuds (sony MDR-EX71SL)  which go down to 6 hz.

and so if you want to have "LOUDER" mixes, which i assume you mean 'more upfront' and not necessarily louder 'energy wise', you might want to experiment more with compression and limiting.

you can do some pretty great limiting across acoustic guitar sub buses, for example, with the right settings, keep them very transparent....
but get the overall 'up frontedness' happening, which might help out the feeling of having mixes 'too soft' or 'quiet.


thanks again!

Awright... this mix sounds smoother and more refined...
Vocals and guitars seem a little tighter... and a different effect on the lead guitar... yeah, this is happenin'...

thanks nat!!

i thought this one had faded away.......


i walked away from this mix several times, to come back to it with a fresh perspective.

i stripped out quite a bit, which made it easier for a listener to get into.

i hear all this cool stuff, 'possibilities' if you will, while tracking...
and i go with them, knowing that i'll edit it out later.


then, i end up liking all of it, not wanting to edit it out.

LOL
