Ricardo Santiago's - Let the Music Fade Away - Updated
#1
Another great track by the talented Mr. Santiago.

This one came together pretty quickly for me with just nuances taking some time to automate.
The recorded tones were excellent and I found that in most cases a lot of tone shaping was not needed.

I made some minor arrangement changes and created an environment I hope supports the tenor of the lyric.

Ricardo Santiago - Let the Music Fade Away - Master 4
A few minor tweaks. Introduced the lead guitar in the second verse and dropped it completely in the first; eased back on the compression ratio on the primary lead vocal compressor so the voice did not get 'swallowed' as much; Slowed the attack time on the drum buss compressor to allow the snare to pop above a bit more; lowered the over-all volume in the mastering chain a touch.

Comments appreciated.

Happy Listening,
