Hi Anne-Marie en Rob, OM, Scott and Janne,

Thanks for your nice replies on the song. It took some time for me to reply, sorry for that. [*****] reasons...

Love the music too.

Ik luisterde met oortjes in en dan zijn de instrumenten die links en rechts gepanned zijn iets te luid, want ze overstemmen je zang daar. Dit kan ik beter omschrijven in het Nederlands dan in het Engels laugh

Groetjes,
Anne-Marie

PS ik stuur je nog een mailtje


Hoi RnAM; (in Dutch) bedankt, ook voor je aanwijzingen. Ben er nog niet aan toegekomen het te wijzigen. Reden staat in eerste zin ;-)
Heb je lieve mail beantwoord.

Hello Scott, so nice to read your post. As I said to MO, I hope to continue receiving these compliments from you!

Welcome back, Hans! And what a comeback, absolutely stunning work! Interesting subject on different kind of love given super treatment. Nice name dropping, although I'm not sure even Einstein could fly through time smile The chord progression in minor is perfect, straight to my heart. And the sad melody supports the story exactly. Good intro and a beautiful way to end.

What an excellent arrangement, so much happening all the time, really like a painting with lots of details and beautiful emotional voices in the center. Those guitars are very well chosen, the nylon guitar takes back many centuries and then the baritone, you can always trust its power, then the blues solo guitar is perfect fit to give blues mood. Strings sound excellent - really lush.

I bought also Ozone 10, I tried to use it on my recent song, but decided not to, because it sounded overcompressed.... well, maybe tweaking Maximizer might help. But you have done really good job with it, I didn't hear any compression issues. Very spacious mix, nicely panned.

Janne


Hi Janne, Wow, what nice words! And I was hesitating about Einstein too, but there was no one else to use in the song. I also had another Italian sculpter than Mischelangelo, but noone know that man. So what to do? Using my fantasy...
But the sad story was dealing more and more with my lost cat. I loved that animal. Never heard of him since.

With Ozone 10 I had the same experience as you described, but then did some adjustments on my volume (audio interface) and managed to get a far morte better sound. But I used very bad words before I solved the issue. I also used Ozone 9 as a stand alone, but that is gone now. Also used bad words for that!


Thanks everyone for listening, advicing and commenting,
Hans
