Sorry because of my broken English. What I wanted to say is, that listening to "Getting Free" on absolutely perfect stereo by headphones, the mixing is ok. When listening to monitors in a "normal" living room the vocals will cover the instruments, especially the brass section is covered. I try to avoid this by routing the subgroups on my mixing console to the left and right channel, so that the signal becomes a mono signal. If it's fine, I route the subgroups just to the wanted left or right bus. Because of your trepidation: I very, very seldom heard any self-made music that really was unpleasant. Just deliberately mainstream pot-boiler ill-intentioned music is unpleasant. If anybody, you or I ever should compose a less good song or do a less good mixing, even if it's commercial, I guess I would be fine with it. Most music of the charts is annoying, because if one song becomes a hit, there will be 20 other songs similar to that song. IMO this is the only "mistake" we could make, a song that sounds like 20 other current chart songs. > > > > On 22 February 2010 12:32, Ralf Mardorf <ralf.mard...@alice-dsl.net > <mailto:ralf.mard...@alice-dsl.net>> wrote: > > Frank Smith wrote: > > HI All > Well here it is. > Money where your mouth is time! > > Take a listen all produced in 64studio from start to finish. > Rock music with a ballad for good measure. > No need to login: > > http://www.projectoverseer.biz/BluesLSD/ > > > Cheers > Bob > > > Hi Bob :) > > good production :), excepted of the very good song "Getting Free" > :(.
