You should be proud of this one - thanks for sharing smile


Thanks, Deryk. Love that "ear worm" expression! Never heard it before. You're right, 2020's gospel ooz and oz (hehe) were a big plus.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Thanks, Scott. I can't imagine this piece without that guitar/fiddle thing and especially the gospel singers.

P.S. at 3:47 there is some artifact that I am not sure if supposed to be there... or a mix speck.

Thank you for sharing!

Misha.


Thanks for such encouraging comments, Misha. Love that "olive oil" part. Oh, you have an excellent ear, my friend! It was a brain fart on my bass track. Somehow my conscious mind crept in, and that's what happened. I figured, "Well, no one really listens to the bass anyway." So I left it in. wink


Enjoy whatever happens!

You seemed to really notch it up this time. There is a Confidence flowing throughout - the instrument selections, the mix, and especially the vocal.

Outta the park.

Thanks so much, Floyd. Very encouraging remarks. One of the best things about this forum is how helpful y'all are to each other. Keep up the good word, man.

The arrangement is good (I liked the gospel chorus at the end)-all working for me, though I agree with RayC about panning the fiddle wider on the verses.
I can relate to having to adapt your mixing to whose in the house- mine is also all headphones `til there`s a clearout and I can crank the monitors.
Excellent song!

Robert


Thanks, Robert. Seems I live for those "clearout" moments.

"Search your soul then look inside for peace. Take control and then you'll be released."

Indeed.

Firstly, give your self credit for that bass track in the post!

This sounds GREAT through the KRK's...never use cans.

It's a very tight mix with plenty of dynamics and "nobody is steppin' on nobody." smile

Good solo RT performance...I assume some amount of consideration, etc., went into that.

The gospel backup is nice but ultimately it's your fine vocal performance that carries the tune.

Kudos!!!

Oh, right you are on that, J&B! I spend more time on picking soloists thatn anything else --except mixing, of course, which never seems to be done. I can't wait to get our new place built so I can invite friends in to play.

Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement!!
