Ok, this one was better than "the wind"
Here's a 320kbps mix with a limiter for volume's sake (I don't think I degraded the signal, but let me know if you hear anything).
Still don't have a handle on EQing dual vocals on a single track.
I almost didn't think the whole song was here because the shakers go on for another four beats (I cut that off). You'll hear the vocal delay tail I put on the end (read below).
DRUMS
- Lots of drum tracks to mess around with but hardly needed them all.
- I have some subtle stuff going on in the snare parallel chain (delay, fuzz).
RHODES
- spread this one out a bit into three channels. lower end in the middle and two tracks hard panned with higher end info, offset a few ms. Comes through nice.
GUITAR
- best sounding track on this song. I didn't spend a ton of time on it. I should have multed it to get better control over it but just rode the fader instead. Very dynamic track. I could have done way better. It kinda get lost. Maybe I'll dig back in later.
DJEMBE
- sounded nasty, now it sounds slightly less nasty
VOCALS
- there's a delay with a steady amount of feedback throughout the whole thing automated to cut off at the end. Long reverb as well.
BACKUPS
- fuzzed em up. gated em.
BASS
- bass was like a lead instrument in this song. I took that track pushed it close to the front (it was hard to not push it too loud). Automated in a slightly fuzzed out delay that give a shout in the right channel.
ACOUSTIC
- not totally steady with the kick and kept being distracting. I think I straightened it out. Also doubled/widened.
Interesting how many folks had such a dry take on this song. I totally would have never thought of doing that. Some of them were very good. A lot of them did quite well with the vocals, I might dig back in a give the vox a little more effort if I have a few minutes (...hours).
