James May: 'Hold On You' FINAL MIX aboard

[KMuzic]

I'm using Reference on Reaper, too (v3 sadly, their update offers are pretty miserly). You may already know, but in case you're using it as a Master fx (which is pain-in-the cause you gotta switch it off to render or check on monitors), there's this option to use it as a monitor fx (right click on the fx button on the master track opening a different effects rack) so every plugin you load there will work over your monitoring output but without mingling with the "real" output signal.

Also, digging that electric guitar reverb (reverb/delay/echo, whatever) on the right! The slide guitar could use some of that, too; probably even more to make it more snakey.

Thanks for the heads up on reference. I played with it a bit..its pretty cool! Im back on the monitors now, just getting my room set up..I probably shouldn't have used them yet because Im not finished treating the room, but I pulled the socks out of the ports on the old Events and gave it a shot..lol I do all the larger projects in Reaper and the smaller projects in Cubase. The first 2 mixes in reaper were weird, still couldn't figure out why it was doing that, put it in Cubase and seems ok..ohh well
New mix feels a lot more solid to me..took your advice and juiced up the slide Guitar..snakey!! maybe shakey..lol
Thanks!!
Cheers
