HALFWAY

Back to the blues! We posted this in 2018 and this is a new mix, new track effects and new mastering (all for an upcoming video production). Warning 👀 production geek talk. For several years we’ve used dynamic EQ in lieu of multi-band compression. Revisiting the multi-band compressor originally used on this version caused Bud to do a deep dive back into it as it is rather complex. Our conclusion for this tune is that it opened up the mix and enhanced track separation. YMMV! Regardless we appreciate your time to listen and comment if you choose to do so. And a big thanks to PG Music and PeterF. Lyrics are on SC.
