Comfort Lives In Believe - Simman

[The_Metallurgist]

Really dig the vibe/grove of this song. Guitar solos get a bit messy but all in all are workable. Anyhow, here's my take and welcome your feedback.

Thanks

hi there,
if the guitar solos were messy to you, why not fix it? perhaps muting parts that didn't fit the song, or even creating your own mashed up guitar track from the parts available? you had options, but leaving it as it was shouldn't have been your ideal, i'd suggest.

i complement you on keeping the bass elements pretty well down the middle and away from the sides, that was neat. i found the kick a bit boomy and loose, if you know what i mean?

the bass guitar was the most challenging to sort out in this project, because it was uncontrolled on the lows, but almost like an electric guitar after about 130Hz'ish, like it had a split personality? what could you have done to fix this, or get it sounding more like a bass guitar?

i've listened to classical solo performances by renowned pianists in Cheltenham Town Hall, to cozy blues in smoke-filled bars in Cape Town....but i've still yet to hear one in stereo though. however, mixing this down to mono has consequences, right? furthermore, in downmixing, it means you have one less track to fit into an already VERY busy mix (especially if you choose to keep it busy!). i should be able to close my eyes while listening to your mix and be able to point to each musician and visualise how far they are away from me....and have some idea of the size of the room and even how reflective it is.....

all good fun, eh?
cheers, Dave
