Taking the advice of the many knowledgeable folks here on the forum, I have remixed my song Rollin' On

I have pulled back the vocals, boosted the bass and drums, and have attempted to blend some of the business without loosing the character of the song.

Here are the results: Rollin' On

All comments ans suggestions welcome.

Hi Robb
Can't remember what the original sounded like but this one sounds like some good rock 'n roll

Robb,

This mix sounds better than the last one. I would like to hear it in a higher quality format. May be my internet connection, but there are a lot of artifacts coming through on my end, and it makes it hard to really hear it the way you undoubtedly do.

Thanks for sharing it.

@jo131: Thanks for the listen. I "clicked through" to your "I Will Always be There" video and enjoyed it.

Steve,

There are defiantly some "artifacts" in the vocals. These are my 6 children, 3 poodles, and an annoyingly loud parrot. My studio desk is part of our library/homeschooling room. It is rarely quiet enough to get a proper recording. Mind you I am not complaining (well I guess I was complaining about the parrot). Father and husband is my primary vocation. Music is a hobby.

Just in case the kids are not the artifacts you were hearing, I rendered a 44.1 .wav file and generated a .flac file with that. I could send you the Sonar .BUN file if you would like.


Rollin' On .wav file (~60MB)
Rollin' On .flac file (~20MB)

Any advice is appreciated. Your time and effort are a kindness.

Robb,

I didn't hear anything other than the reverb tails or slight echo on the vocal which were fine. Sounds good here on my headphones.

BTW, Your house sounds like a ton of fun. I still miss my loud parrot - what a character - he passed away in 2008 - how I loved that bird. His name was "Sundance". smile

@Pat: Thank you for both the listen and the affirmation.

@Sundance: Sorry to hear about the feathered Sundance. I know how difficult it is to lose beloved pet.

Robb,

This is the best mix yet. I found the snare a bit too up-front. It's covering up other stuff. The resonator guitar and mandolin get a little lost behind it. I also think that a tighter snare would help. But if you stick with the "loose snare" sound, it should be backed off some IMO.

Hope that helps.

Robb,

I was able to give another listen, and I didn't hear the artifacts I was hearing yesterday, so it must have been a "bad" internet speed. I have run into that on occasion with streaming, but usually it is with sites like Soundcloud, Soundclick, or ReverbNation when there sites have busier traffic, you can hear more problems.

This mix does sound much better, and I do agree with Floyd about the snare. It's just a little harsh and distracts from the rest of the mix.

BTW, I also agree with your priorities. Family has to be first. Keep up the good work!

Steve

Family first and throw in the noise gate smile I like the remix but I do agree with others on the snare. Take it with a grain of salt as I'm still learning how to mix drums. Thanks for the update.

Through my speakers the drum track is still covering up the rest of the instrumentation, but big improvement over the 1st post.
