Need Mix Feedback
Gang, please take a few minutes to listen and give feedback on this MIX. It is an unplugged version of one of my old songs. As I'm picking up (many) mixing tips, I am hoping that my mixes are beginning to show improvement or even, dare I say, a bit of polish. I'm happy with the song and the arrangement. What about this mix offends you? What sticks out? What is too bright/dull? I'd love to move beyond tweak stage and master the damn thing. My goal since joining has been to put together at least 20 of my tunes. This is #20. Eventually I WILL have a female singer version. Also, GIVE ME YOUR VOTE: In the instrumental break should I 1.Keep the vibes, 2. record live nylon string/Spanish guitar, 3. Live harmonica (since it's a Stevie Wonder influence) or something else?

@Tim Jeffcoat Thx Tim. You were right about the horns entrance. Fixed it. I previously consistently mixed with too much high end. Of this, I have now been convinced. I am a convert and triple checking each project for signs of recidivism. Mastering. Moving on.

@Glenn Macrae In the future, I'll be checking my instinct for too much high end in my mixes. I'll continue to 'practice' comparing against my reference tracks - but successfully achieving that expertise is MANY mixes away. I'll also worry a bit less about "standard" EQ settings (per instrument) and trust my ear more for the cohesion within the larger mix.

Glad you found that Glenn. Informative, yes. But seeing real, normal, people at the decision-making end of this rainbow makes this seem possible.

Singer/songwriter playlist
Hey guys, I thought I would share the 1st track of a project that I will be working on in a couple of weeks time. It will be my first attempt at singer/songwriter songs for sync licensing. What are your thoughts on this song in terms of sync licensing. Any feedback is appreciated….. https://s.disco.ac/uqwghhyytflj Many thanks

Stellar production David- as always! At times the vocals work like instruments which is really cool. At other (several) times I'd like them to be more out front. On first listen I could not quite understand all the lyrics. But that could just be levels or the fact that it was first listen. Thx for sharing! Also is it singer/songwriter? What do we call this niche?

@David Goode @Glenn Macrae @Kaleb Blackard @Tyquan Griffin Here's an old tune of mine that I'm recreating in a bit more of a Latin vibe - still quite rough/early stages/scratch vocal (standard disclaimers). In tonight's discussion I mentioned that this was a Stevie Wonder-inspired. Even though it's acoustic guitar-based, maybe you hear it too? Maybe it's only me :-)

Next song
OK, so the first song that I played for you guys there’s a corrupt file that I had to find and then I’m gonna mix it but while I’m doing that, here’s the next song that I’m gonna be mixing. This one was basically inspired by Old Navy. I made it to be able to fit an Old Navy commercial. Just gotta mix it better. Let me know if you think about the track overall remembering that I know I still have to mix it better. https://s.disco.ac/rugxtftbetvt
