The lead guitar on the left seems to be highly disconnected from the rest of your groups. It sounds pretty good, but musically disconnected. There is a lot of emotion in this song and it leads the composition and with sounds starting out as well as you have presented them, you could enhance those emotions more with your mix. You've got the technical now let's hear your creative take on the emotional. The SONG.
Thanks for the reply!
You're right that the electric is a bit disconnected. I was a little worried about that before posting. Should have gone and listened to a few others' takes first - but didn't want to color how I did it before I gave it a go. I used some light plate reverb on vocals, mando and guitar, hoping that the room mics would give enough reverb to glue it together, but listening back after listening to a few other versions around here, seems I could have used a little extra room verb to glue things together.
I see you're a Studio One user. Is there a simple way to reverse channels on the verbs in the box? To help the channels feel less isolated? Or do you apply a mono verb or something?
Also - good advice about the emotional part of it. I've spent so long trying to get decent at the technical I missed that part. I just realized I never went back took a last pass at riding volumes on the tracks, which would have helped that, I think. What other things do you do to help out with the emotional aspects?
