Thanks for listening, Paul! Those are some really good ideas, I only wish you were on here last month so I could have tried those out before finishing the song! 😂 I didn’t even consider doing anything with that bass, but that would have been another area where I could have added some more movement and dynamics! It’s definitely on my radar now though! Thanks! – JLew

Hey Paul! This was really cool! I enjoyed listening to that a lot! Thanks for sharing!
If you get a chance – Could you list the songs you used to make this? I really loved some of them and don’t know what they are!
I’ll have to check out that AI technology you were using. I haven’t played around with that stuff yet. Very interesting.
thanks for sharing,

Hey Stuart! Congrats on such a badass song! It has such an awesome vibe and I love all of the cool production stuff you added into it. Super awesome!!! I’m mostly just a newbee when it comes to mixing/mastering so I’d defer to the other peoples comments, however one thing I noticed was that it wasn’t as loud as another track that I had just listened to, so maybe just simply making the mix louder overall might make it more competitive against other tracks that are competing for the sync?
Again, really excellent stuff! Can’t wait to hear more of your music!
Best Wishes,
Jesse

Duuuuuude!!! This sounds INSAAANE!!! So good. I started to listen to it with a critical ear to see if I could offer up any suggestions…but then quickly became completely lost in your music, in a good way haha. It’s so high level from a songwriting, production, orchestration, mixing, and just general conceptual vibe. I would listen to this all the time. Congrats man – So very beautiful ❤

Hey Jon!
I think this mix sounds fabulous! I’m definitely no pro by any means so I wish I could offer more constructive feedback but it really does sound very good to me. If this came on the radio I wouldn’t question it at all!
A couple things that jumped out at me while listening very critically was the noise floor in the beginning and end was somewhat noticeable and maybe took me out of the moment a bit? (is it in the acoustic guitar mics?) (***Curious if anyone knows of a solution to this? Would it be a noise gate? or some kind of RX or something? Inquiring minds want to know haha)
I also felt that the short section right after the guitar solo (from 2:03-2:09) possibly lacked a little presence somehow? Maybe the bass could come up slightly??? Not sure tho…
Again – this mix totally rocks, I wish I could mix like you!
Best Wishes,
Jesse

Hey Paul!
Thanks for listening! You comments are very helpful. I LOVE your idea of the guitar coming into focus and “joining” the scene. Thats a really cool production idea. There will be a video (of our live recording in the woods) accompanying this track so I need to make sure that it won’t seem strange with the video, but I really hope it works. That’s such a cool idea that I never would have thought of. Thank you!
Best,

Wow! This response is so helpful and so much appreciated and answers so much of the stuff I’ve been wondering about. About halfway through your response I was like…this is the short version!? haha!!! (I know you can’t help yourself, bad cat)
Seriously – thank you so much for everything you are doing with this platform and creating this incredible space for people to help each other grow!
Love,
JLew

Great question and a very helpful answer! Thanks for this response!

Thanks so much for this feedback man! I will address all of your suggestions. Thanks for taking the time to listen and give such thoughtful suggestions.
Just listening to the snare again now hahaha wow that is very loud 😂. I must have listened to this too many times because I swear that snare sounded normal to me at the time:)
Back to it!
thanks so much❤ ❤❤

Holy Moly! This list of reamp possibilities is incredible and totally game changing! I had actually never even considered the idea of using the original software synth and combining that with the reamp audio!
In a typical setup do you just literarily mix them together (like make a moog group and just combine them to taste????)
Inquiring minds want to know ❤
