I dare to comment on tracks that I've been working myself.
What I find disconcerting about this mix is the rule break around snare, kick and bass in the center. Either both my headphones and monitors are failing, or I have a "strange" left drift of the rythmic instruments that in my opinion is too much if done on purpose. Right channel gets piano and dobro focus. Am I missing something of key importance in doubting about the approach?
I like the piano sound that is nicely rendered and the overall difficulty of booming and resonance is solved differently from me, where you're actually accentuating the roominess on purpose (I believe).
thanks for your attention
Hi Lammy thanks for your comments and time. I have downloaded your two versions, and I'll give you feedback as soon as I have listened to them. This song is getting a lot of attention!!
'Ravishing' means very beautiful, it seems to be popular. Where I live (east coast australia), the lifsaver writes the water temperature on a chalkboard at the beach like "17 C - Invigorating" or now that it's our summer '22 C - Ravishing'.
The 'rule break' panning is inspired from some vintage rock stereo mixing where the bass in not panned centre. There were technical reasons for putting the bass to centre on vinyl, which later prevailed. This soundstage was revived in some roots bands (Violent Femmes in 1980s, one of my all time favourite).
Regarding the use of the room stereo, yes!! I love it so much I may have overdone it. I love the envelopment it gives, but on further listening maybe the guitar solo has been drowned.
