I guess I was feeling a little Copelandish today

Thanks BayouTexan  waraba and deadman42 good call you’re right, I didn’t give it much of a mix. The harsh guitar is meant to be in the style of the artist formerly known as living who seemed to really like chorus at the metallic end of things, it can definitely be made to sit in the mix better.

Thanks Monkey_Man ok. I was torn on this track, the vocals sounded too dry, but also sounded alright enough once I double tracked them. I sometimes use a touch of space echo but this time opted for a plate verb. If I wanted full on Genesis here I’d have added a slap back something shorter than John Lennons ADT maybe it would sound better than manual double tracking.

Sounds great. With regards reverb it’s very much per track, I tend to overuse verb but you really only want it on certain points where you want to give the feeling of space, such as on the repeated “make this happen” when the backing has dropped out a little. Otherwise for your master to create a transparent verb you can try a general smooth reverb but turn it on to fully wet and adjust the eq to rid yourself of wolf notes, then mix back in as much or little as you want.

Yeah Monkey_Man good point, thanks you’re right, I continue to feel very awkward about my vocals so tend to not place them where vocals should go if they were good in a mix which is way up front.

Thanks Monkey_Man !

Too hot today to do more than this.

Thanks deadman42 !

Heavens to Murgatroyd! Oh wrong pink cat, well BayouTexan Cato will be there to “protect” Clouseau I’m sure.

Thanks Monkey_Man yeah it’s a great way to emphasize a short line and force you into a breathing pace.

Off-kilter means different and unexpected. So sometimes like a wobbly wheel, or thrown off, but in music I mean it as in not MOR, so off the beaten path with interesting rhythmic structure and interest. You want a bit of that in any good music.

Thanks deadman42 !

Thanks Franjoe30 and Monkey_Man !

Running up that hill to Heathcliff eh? Great track. I only watched the first season, should probably catch up at some point but there are so many shows these days it’s really hard to find time.

Very cool man, big fan of the off-kilter stuff, love the buttery synth lead and the vocals are perfect for this too. Sounds like samples of 60's records! Love it!

Thanks Monkey_Man  waraba and deadman42 !
