You seem to be under the impression that I know what I am doing I really don't! The best I can offer is a different perspective to yours, but you shouldn't accept it if it isn't compatible with your vision.wagtunes wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 1:39 pmWell, having never done anything like this with another person, I am honestly at a loss. I have no idea what I want to do. So I'm going to need you to be like my teacher. Tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it. Seriously. I need that kind of direction or nothing's gonna get done.el-bo (formerly ebow) wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2019 1:21 pmwagtunes wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 7:01 pmHonestly, I didn't have anything in particular in mind. Since you were kind enough to offer to do this, I thought I'd leave it up to you. I'm fine with whatever you come up with.el-bo (formerly ebow) wrote: ↑Mon Aug 26, 2019 5:01 pmSo! How're we going to do this?
I still have suggestions about things that I would change, were this my project. However, I doubt you'll want to be bothered.
So, tell me what you had in mind
I have suggestions to make with regard to the bass and organ. I'd also probably try and add a bit of variety in the drum-track (A couple of different fills, perhaps). It's fine as it is, but ideally there'd be a bit of variety.
Ultimately, whatever happens should be your decision. You might not care for my advice, and you might be fine with the drums as they are (Which I definitely am, also). You have to be happy with the end result.
To that end, I could either send you what we agree is a good balance/spread of sounds as a stereo mix, but dry, so you can have a bit more flexibility with mixing,(Maybe not too much so as to not have enough freedom to lose the overall dynamic of the performance). Or I can bounce out the tracks for each drum separately, albeit with some of the processing intact. That gives you more freedom (which comes with great responsibility )
I could venture a mix, myself. However, even if I could improve on yours, it would no doubt stick out from the rest of the album. Of course, there's no reason not to have an alternative version. However, in that case, maybe it might be of interest to you to submit it to the Mix-Challenge, or to someone you know who might be up for giving it a go
I have no issues putting more time into this, so if you want me to do something a certain way then just ask.
Think about what you want from the result, not the process.
