Sweet Bliss (Your Loss)

An exercise in double tracking almost everything. 5 guitars with minimum 3 at any time, three vocals (decided against processing as I liked how they just sounded this time), and a bass not double tracked but with with a heavy down octaved part for the chorus parts to get that cathedral organ like deep notes.

I have Monkey_Man but what do you mean exactly? I dialed back the compression quite a bit and raised the drums mids from where I had it the first time I uploaded it as the drums vanished completely on crapmac(tm) speakers. The first verse vocals are quieter as they’re just a double rather than triple tracked.

I've replaced it back with the original which was much more compressed and had the drums a little further back. See if you prefer this one Monkey_Man

Thanks for checking it out deadman42 and waraba .

There was a much less compressed version up earlier but I changed it back based on the feedback.

I’m afraid that’s as tight as I can play waraba which sections stand out as particularly rough though to you?

Could be the bass-line which is also in unison with the three guitars there.

I uploaded another version that's far less compressed, reduced side chaining and re-tracked the intro bass and even guitars with over the top gating and even tracked one of the tracks at a slower pace to tighten it up further, not sure if I like it as much though as it loses the smear from the distortion and makes the sound smaller and artificial to my ears. The drums had a bit more treble and compression, and I adjusted the master bus gain staging to try and eliminate clipping. The vocals also should perhaps have been pushed up again to compensate but I think I’m done with it for now as it's just a noodle.

Thanks for the feedback guys. All part of learning, though some is learning that good quality mastering takes much longer than you'd hope if you want something different from presets.

Thanks deangersmith!

Thanks BayouTexan !
