Yet another of my client Matt songs given a “Sherz makeover”.
Looking to get the final polishing done on this one soon so any helpful ears on the mix, as always, mucho appreciated!

Very nice. I’ve got no its on the mix, Ian. Everything is clear, the bass has sufficient fullness and presence,
Nothing is buried, the vocal is slightly prominent, which I believe they should be on a tune like this.
This made me smile. It’s the kind of tune (where his daughter sings "I love you Daddy, you’re the best)
that may be a bit embarrassing for her, if not now, then in her teen years - but as she grows older she’ll
probably play it all the time with pride.
I can’t help but notice that it’s very similar to my song ‘Just Passing Through’ from Box o’ Chocolates, not in chord structure, but in rhythm and theme - although mine is slower. (and I think mine is just a little less ‘Brady Bunch- Sunshine Day’…just a little)
Here’s my tune - http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=661971&songID=10379564
I don’t have any nits about the mix either, except possibly some automation on the lead vocal during the choruses – it gets just a tad buried at those points.
It’s not a mix issue, but the drum fills at about :50 and then at about 2:30 didn’t quite work for me.
Cheers Lenny… will pass comments on. Yeah, I remember your song… it certainly does share a related theme. I always loved the Beatlesque arrangement on that one… and your vocal was fab too!
Cheers Doug … will revisit those. They’re Jamstix creations. I must admit that as good as Jamstix is, taming it’s fills is always a challenge. There’s so many friggen adjustments/parameters to tweak…
I have to say I’m HUGELY relieved no one has mentioned the snare… yet…
Hi pal!
Pass on my congratulations. My only thought - viz-a-viz compression - is that if there was a chance to give it some room to breathe - some air. Sounds a trifle missing some dynamics to me / my ears.
But…
Hi Ian
I quite enjoyed this. Made me think of Robert Shaw.
My initial thought were it sounded a tad congested and needed a bit more space. I also felt at times the groove wasn’t quite there between all the parts. This was most noticeable in the intro IMO and sometimes later. I might be being a bit fussy here.
Cheers
Dave

enjoyed
Where’s my reply gone?

By the end of the tune, I wanted to duct tape the kids and stuff them in a closet.
No nits on mix, here.

I think that was Matt’s intent with this one. He was a little uncomfortable when I threw out his guitars and replaced with the piano… but he got used to the idea soon enough!

Cheers Phil!

Yeah… this song won’t be for everyone.

I think I’ll refrain from passing that particular feedback on!
