I remixed Winds of Change, and did some of the things suggested. Upped the vocal just a bit. move the second chorus up after the second verse then the lead break back, followed by the final chorus. Shortened the intro to 8 bars from 16. Hope it is better. Also pulled the drums back a bit.

Oh also i added a live played acoustic strumming track, and removed the RT strummed one. I might as well get off my duff and play that thing some more, after all that was the point to start with. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=10923160

Works for me!!

Good short, sharp intro, straight into the song. And I feel the guitar break definitely flows into and out of the chorus much more smoothly. And you get your hook again more quickly.

Nice job

Solid tune, Rob! Great use of - well - everything.

Really like the message of the tune as well. Nicely delivered.

Keep up the great work.

Cheers,
Mike

Thanks guys, i was happy with the results. I would still like another crack at the vocals, using my condenser mike, but i am having noise issues in this studio. Well done for now, and op to the next one.

Hey Rob

You should be happy with the results - this remix is much smoother with more clarity.
It's a good song, good thoughts.
I'm glad you input the lyrics on the other thread - good for my ears but your voice stands out better.

If I had to make one suggestion it would be to bring up the lead intro a few decibels to the level of your voice, then pull it down below vocal level until the break. That seems to be my biggest personal mix problem. I find it easier to highlight the intro about 3 decibels up to the point the voice begins. Or if you can find a ducking software.

Good stuff. Ian

Rob,

Very nice! I really like the message here!
It's all been said. You did a good job on this one. Keep it up!

Steve
