Starting over on "Lookout Mountain"

[VANWINKLE52]

I love this band and wanted to stick with it till I get it close.
With your help I'm learning every day. Am I getting closer on this?
Thanks in advance............Curley

Hi Curley
acoustic guitars are beautifully clear very nice. I would shelve the bass a little to accent the mids to get it away from the kick. Other than that the vocals are a little muffled and maybe take off any echo/delay just stick with a touch of reverb to pop it up and maybe eq it it a touch to make it clearer. Vocals always give me a headache lol. Great mix and do like those acoustics

Ye Ha

THANKS, I can see everything you are talking about. I used Trackspacer on the Bass/Kick, but you are dead on with the suggestion. I thinned it out quite a bit, but not enough. The vocal suggestion is what I hear too. I'll work on it today.

Thanks again........I rely on folks with more experience to learn this process.................Curley

OK.....I hope these changes are moving in the right direction.
Am I in the realm of personal taste?
New version is v11.......Thanks for the guidance, Curley

THANKS.........it's funny you mention "Live". I've been using Soundcraft mixers for live the past 30 years. I have the first Soundcraft 200B that came into the U.S. In my head, the only mode I know is live. I'm now faced with the challenge of getting studio in my head. I don't know studio at all, but I'll get there.

Thanks again....................Curley
