I mentioned in another post that I've been trying to improve my mixing skills. I've spent a lot of time looking for some techniques that I could learn to use. Multi-band compression is my latest discovery, and I think I've turned a corner in being able to get closer to reference mixes, but only the listener knows:) I've recorded and uploaded a handful of songs and I'm going back to each of them to make improvements. Here's one I don't think I ever posted here, but it is the latest version. Critiques are appreciated. http://www.reverbnation.com/scottholson/song/23445598-the-way-it-sometimes-goeshttps://soundcloud.com/scott-h-olson/the-way-it-sometimes-goesTHE WAY IT SOMETIMES GOES Copyright © 2012 by Scott H Olson Bills on the table Money spent Stack of bills on the table Money's already spent Landlord knockin', lookin' for the rent Icebox empty Cupboard's bare Icebox empty And the cupboard's bare Reach in the cookie jar, nothin' there Chorus That's the way, it sometimes goes That's the way, everybody knows C'mon baby don't you be so blue You still got me and I still got you, but That's the way, it sometimes goes Clothes in the basket Dishes in the sink Dirty clothes in the basket Dirty dishes in the sink No rest for the weary, no time to think Repeat Chorus Style is _TBLZSHB.STY (TexBlzRockShuf wBrentSolo[130RS]) RealTracks in song: 1922:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockSlow12-8 Sw 060 RealTracks in song: ~425:Organ, B3, Background Blues Sw 120 RealTracks in song: 418:Guitar, Slide, Soloist Blues Sw 120 (Bluesy) RealTracks in song: 655:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm TexasBoogieShuffle Sw 140 RealDrums in Song: BluesRockShuffle^2-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, Ride

Well written and well sung song. I like the photo of holding hands on the table as it adds value to the song. You picked a good subject since almost everyone has had trouble getting by. I did not hear the original mix but I found the current mix eell balanced and easy to listen to.

Another good one, Scott.
Good vocal. Excellent drum sound...and organ. All the instruments are crisp and clear. I thought the bass needed to be a bit "beefier".
Enjoyed this one, too..

Sounds good. I do agree with floyd about the bass. Your mixing skills are definitely heading in the right direction. Good job! Tom

Good tune! I agree there's some bass (and maybe mid too) deficiency--sounds kind of hollow. I think the organ and the vocal work very well. Should be an easy fix. Enjoyed it! Take care. Greg

I value your opinions. I did bump up the low end. Hope that is better.
