Dan, I'm in the process of re-mixing right now. Just got to the vocals and listened for the first time. The 'RAW' track for the vocal is heavily processed. I can't do anything with it.




This was done with the VLT which while a ton of fun is nore suited for Live since once recorded there is no going back. I will re-think and re-sing this part with a much less processed effect.

Also, on the guitar tracks there are some places where the intonation on the guitar is causing some problems - won't be able to do anything with that. Most the time it's not an issue, but there are a few places where it's clashing with the bass when the bass goes high on the fingerboard..




The Bass player is doing some runs which get in way with the melody - ya I heard that. I guess the only fix is to spend more time in BIAB or RB to adjust all those parts individually. This was a "simple" bass RT, may need a "very simple" bass RT. I do hear in your mixing you have tamed the bass very much - how?? It is far less obstrusive and a big improvement.

I would work on some arrangement items with the autogenerated piano and drums - but for now, I'll just work the mix. Some of the muddiness is timing related between the guitar and piano. Would you like me to point out the spots or not?



Ya, the guitar and piano are stepping on each other, I can hear the places - I had at one point muted the piano over this part with automation that was removed in the tracks I sent you. Then again I may need to go back to BIAB/RB to arranged thw piano better.

Scott, I do appreciate your efforts and would love to have a little more detail on how you tamed the bass and any and all other mixing magic you empolyed. Thanks much.
