Hello Monk, And thanks for your time and thoughts
Just so we’re on the same page. From my op.” Well I'm still not happy with certain things, but it’s time to move on and come back to this one.”
I just couldn’t figure out a good tone. I don’t mind the guitar being the dominant focus and the acoustic filling out around it and again with a better sound tho.
The word “Technically” is a good word, but to me it doesn’t rule the roost what does is what the part brings to the table and also what feels good. I will try and get the vocal clarity figured out thanks.
The Rhodes part I tried to cut up and use it as a filler part didn’t Finish the idea so this would need to be done at about (.30) is where the part comes in at it’s kind of subliminal, but was using in the sound field as something to add movement. I looked at the Hammond as a filler sound so hopefully if I took It out of the mix you would feel something was missing. The shaker I blended into the hi-hat sound not sure if that’s Technically right, but I will look at it.
I do agree with you I don’t have a set in my room, but I did listen on a cell phone so this would need to be looked at.
Yes, I did notice this before I posted the mix. I just didn’t take the extra time though I spent my time automating other things maybe should have done the drums first though.
I personally don’t have a problem with 50 tracks I don’t think they were all playing at the same time though, but I do get what you are saying.I just think it depends on the song.
Is there a way to tell which is causing the issue with “non-linear distortion artifacts”? I do need to spend some time on honing my fake mastering process. What do you recommend?
Thanks again for the listen and thoughts!

The acoustic guitar is also playing lower in the register but it's notation is completely masked.

Quote:Techncially, we should be able to hear all instruments clearly. Also correlated to this is the problem with the backing vocal clarity. I also can't hear the keys. Did you delete them? And what of the shakers?

Quote:The drums sound robotic because they are programmed. Do you feel the drums could benefit here from automation, like lower in the verses, or does the song benefit the listener from having them punch hard all the time?

Quote:There are 58 tracks, so some hard decisions await if you intend getting this lot between two speakers, and even harder decisions than this if you want it to work in mono.

Quote:You have some issues with harsh non-linear distortion artifacts from the loudness war processing, some of this is likely eminating from the lossy encoder which makes for a fatiguing listening experience over my device.
