colab—- I’ll take the blame on that sharp ride cymbal; as I’m the one bashing away on it. Thank you Pitx, for using the sample!

But, there’s not only one way to mix a drums. Snare, kick, hi-hat, can have more or less presence in a balance and change completely the beat. For me, those cymbals have the good place in this mix, and brings a jazzy atmosphere, and a peculiar swing..

And thanks to you for your drums!!

Thank you colab.
The cymbals, mmm, yes, but… if you play the song in the living room and listen it in another room, then the cymbals are in the just place (this is a better solution than me touching the EQ knobs, he, he)

ah, the classic & oft overlooked off-axis approach.

Thank you Speck.

This might be a silly question but when you sing, do you have a tune in mind? I ask this because the vocals seem to fit the music so well and I would have thought that the music would come first. I’m also asking because I’d like to try more singing and I’m concerned that if I sing to a particular tune it will be difficult to remix. Sorry if this seems naive…I’m just learning :-)

there is always a certain melody behind the vocal but if the singer is singing a ‘C’ it can sound good against a ‘C’, ‘A’, or ‘F’ chord and many of their extensions & alterations so the remixer has a lot of leeway.

Thanks panu moon :-)

I found those lost chords in the back yard…
Thanks for sharing this gem.

Thank you TRF.
Long life for the blues!

Thanks Paul.
Love those lazy afternoons.

Thanks AM.

Thank you DD.

The ride cymbal is part of the FB sample and my skills (with EQ and other production things) are not enough to soften it, i must learn…
Thanks for leaving a comment.
