Seems mono, by mistake. But the song is nice, and I like your journey.
|
|
.
hmmm, i bounced in stereo and used various panning so it shouldn’t be mono. maybe i used too much compression and normalization?
|
|
|
.
No it can’t be because of compression or normalization. I don’t know what DAW you are using, but it could be just some setting in the bounce or in the track you were bouncing to or when exporting the final file or in the app preferences (just a guess).

i use protools. i’ll check it out. thanks!

Ok. I’m no Pro Tools expert. I have Pro Tools 10 also in my puter, but I haven’t used it too much. How about this vid? -> http://www.youtube.com/watc...

the lead vox is straight up the middle but i placed the guitars a little to each side. the drums and loops are at the far ends of the stereo field. placed vocal delays panning from side to side, also keyboard glitch parts. i think my individual track compressions and EQs may be the issue. i’m still investigating! your help is so appreciated. i will bounce the pell and maybe you can do some magic with it ;)

I’ve spent some time spreading some of the sounds into a broader spectrum and have tidied up the edits and mix. Would love your feedback Carosone and Zep :)

thank you :) i just did made a few other adjustments to the bass levels given some feedback from Copperhead so i think it should be even a little better now. mixing is tough! thanks for your help :)

Thanks for the earworm! ;) I can’t get that chorus off of me head now, bonnie lass. Really catchy piece and it was worth the trouble to get Copster to create the breathtaking drive with the drumkits.
 |
|
.
ah thank you! any suggestions on how to make it sound better sonically? it sounds full and round in my mixing speakers but not great in the bounce…?

This is extremely catchy after just one listen. I love the glitch feel you have going on. Fantastic lyrics and melody and overall feel. I have to check that book out.
|
|
.
thanks Greg! yea, the guitar and keyboard editing made it glitchy, a new thing for me. any suggestions on why t sounds so boxy in the bounce? it sounded great on my big speakers. mixing is not my forte — too bad you live on the opposite coast!
|
|
|
.
It seems to me the guitar is red lining and needs some eq. It was only apparent in the intro.
|
|
|
.
any EQ suggestions? ;)
|
|
|
.
Can you send me a loop of that guitar by itself?
|
|
|
.
I’ve spent a couple days fixing and tightening everything and have replaced the mix. Would love your feedback Copperhead :)
|
|
|

I just listened to the source files you used and it’s confirmed, you are a genius!

Reading the other reviews “catchy” seems to be the word du jour here but it really is a very catchy song. Those choruses… Great song!

I’m also a fan of the glitchy approach. Incredibly catchy.
Regarding mono; sounds fine to me - it plays to the acoustic feel of the song. |
|
.
thanks Scomber! i rechecked my bounces and everything is stereo. i think it may be the effect on the vocals in the verses? i used a “transistor radio” EQ that seemed to fit the glitchy nature of the chopped guitar and keyboards. so i’m glad you think it sounds ok! mixing is the hardest part for me. i appreciate your feedback and encouragement.

Love the acoustic rocking over Tony Levin style stick playing and a great percussion track, a great blend of techno and rock, with the usual top flight meaningful lyrics.
This is really great stuff. Boy do some people do their best work on Secret Mixters or what? |
|
.
wow, a Tony Levin comparison? you’ve made my day and possibly year. yes, the Secret Mixter brings out amazing creativity and talent. i look forward to it every quarter. thanks for your review and encouragement :)

Oddly enough, reminds me of Toxic by Britney with of Avicii thrown in. Super commercial-sounding work.

Nice combination of acoustic and electronics. Also it feeds itself well and finds itself healthy.

I’m just sorting through some of my old stuff prior to moving house. This process always makes me feel sad. Happily your brilliant track has cheered me up :)

Once again, you blow it out of the park! I love how you handled the material (I’m sure it won’t surprise you if I say I’ve been thinking about some of these same issues… ) Big ups girlie! (and sorry for the late review . . . )
