Ricardo Santiago's - Let the Music Fade Away - Updated - Mixinthecloud - 04-01-2020
Another great track by the talented Mr. Santiago.
This one came together pretty quickly for me with just nuances taking some time to automate.
The recorded tones were excellent and I found that in most cases a lot of tone shaping was not needed.
I made some minor arrangement changes and created an environment I hope supports the tenor of the lyric.
Ricardo Santiago - Let the Music Fade Away - Master 4
A few minor tweaks. Introduced the lead guitar in the second verse and dropped it completely in the first; eased back on the compression ratio on the primary lead vocal compressor so the voice did not get 'swallowed' as much; Slowed the attack time on the drum buss compressor to allow the snare to pop above a bit more; lowered the over-all volume in the mastering chain a touch.
Comments appreciated.
Happy Listening,
