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

[Mixinthecloud]

6b is too mono and up the middle for me and would benefit from some soundstaging and placement. The sax, flute, keyboard are all central in the image you are presenting. You;ve done a good job to explore creativity with the sax though I'd be mindful of the things going on around it. There's a shaker panning all over the place for example. Changing one thing affects all others. It's a mantra I've discovered the painful way.

Percussion mixes in with the drums and makes an overly busy and confusing delivery. I think that's a tricky one to deal with. I'm therefore not sure what you want my ear to focus on because it's all after my attention.

The flute loses some notes around 1'00. I chose to fix the sour note as well as the keyboard, which dropped out of the groove at one point.

It's a mix I can tell you had some fun with. Well done for trying some fresh ideas.

I think you are writing about someone else's mix. Mono is not how I would express any of my mixes of this piece. Are you sure you are making comments about my mix? I'm sorry you could not figure out what to listen to in my mix and that it confused your ear. Maybe I should have concentrated focus on the lead vocal. Oops. I almost forget. There ain't one. Just lots of percussive sounds moving around a sound field in a heavily syncopated pattern. No reality to be found here. What reality were you presenting in your mix?
