I visited your site and the song My Child, My Child. Jennifer has a beautiful voice! Good Lord, she's fantastic. And you're right, there are many dynamics, but maybe it doesn't have to be so busy or cluttered.

Just a coincidence: some of us were talking about Alison Krauss. I believe the answer to your mix is in her videos, "Goodbye" and "Restless". Here's a link. http://www.alisonkrauss.com/site.php?content=videos#

If you want a basic simple sound, follow the formula of "Goodbye". If you want to keep it dynamic, busier and loud, with plenty of punch, then "Restless".

But, your song is not restless, yet it is somewhow faster in tempo, but the theme is peaceful - it's about sleep.

IMO, whichever way you choose, I would want to hear the vocals louder still, more compressed and slightly wetter or more full and attention-getting.

I can't hear enough of the midranges in the instrumentation, which Alison's people just nail!

You can play with the bass dynamics a bit, and keep using it for effect driving the beat, except it is a little predictable, then it gets distracting and we follow it subconsciously, so don't lose those beautiful vocals in any way, crank 'em up!

I like the steel guitar, want a little more, and can't quite hear any other guitar which I'd like, and also there's fiddle, right?

The drums are good musically, but seem flat in the mix, and not crisp enough. Did you use brushes? I'd use brushes in a sleep song but still need to hear them too.

I hope that years of loud amplifiers, and car engines and exhaust haven't killed my hearing - I do know that certain frequencies have been taken out in me, and won't blame that on your mix then. :lol:

It's not my intention to be negative, just positive, but I still want to be constructive and not just give empty compliments or forget to say what IMO needs a fix - you are looking for clear impressions and/or advice.

Again, I just think the the these Alison Krauss videos and their super dynamics, different yet appropriate, would be helpful. :wink:]]> Hear Here Blue Jay https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/struggling-with-mix-any-thoughts-would-be-appreciated/#post-333943 https://guitarnoise.forum/hear-here/struggling-with-mix-any-thoughts-would-be-appreciated/#post-36614 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 02:31:26 +0000
This one fought me every step of the way.. still is actually..



If anyone has any thoughts on how to clean up this mix would be it would be much appreciated..

Doesn't really sound like it, but there is a LOT going on in this one and they dynamics and trying to get it to work has been a real #&$&~!!!
