Judders' Saga

[Judders]

Some ideas_

A little too guitar centric (you play guitar, eh?). Need to bring the piano out of the bathroom (you don't play piano, eh??). The reverb generally seems to imply the room is empty. Not loving the emphasis on the buzzing frets. Instrumental balances and hence placement, seem odd. Bass guitarist wasn't in the same performance. Mix sounded too mono. Nice dynamics.

Fair play on the reverb decisions. I was experimenting with putting reverb on the bass but not the guitar. I think you're right that the piano sounds too much like it's in the bathroom, and I should have done something about that fret buzz.

Mono was deliberate, I wouldn't want to change that because I feel it would ruin the retro vibe of the piece. I also disagree about the guitar/piano balance. It is a solo guitar piece with piano accompaniment, it's not a duet. There are a couple of points where the piano sticks it's head up to be alongside the guitar, but I followed the dynamic of the performance and in the rest of the piece it is set back, that sounds like a performance decision to me, and I wouldn't want to ruin it.

Thanks for the detailed critique
