Ja Make Ya Dance - Pass 6b "Final Polish"

[Mixinthecloud]

Thanks for feedback! Listened version 6b. I'd perhaps take the overheads (perc at least) down a bit, or narrow their width. You have a very nice focused stereo image and some nice L/R effects, but then some elements start to jump out of the speakers panorama. The type of sound would probably suit some synthetic effects, but it's bit disturbing for 'natural' percussions. The drums and bass generally sound very good. And the effect works gives the mix nice life. Great work! ^_^

Hey Kapu,
You touched something here. For me, a piece like this one does not touch reality for the most part. It is a fanciful tone and rhythm play. Enhancing or altering or even creating ones own reality for this composition is part of the creative process somewhat unique to this piece. Getting things to jump out of the panorama of the speakers is a wonderful compliment for me. Playing with presence and perspective and the creation of depth and movement and space, real or unreal, is all part of the fun, right? Especially in an arrangement like this one. I actually did play with the focus of the percussion using a binaural pan control but it fit best to my ear fully open. If I recall there was a stereo overhead and a mono mic in that group.

Thanks again for your input and perspectives.
