Still hearing a hint of The Big O in your voice which is certainly no bad thing! Lovely acoustic guitar tone too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Mover and Shaker Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Nice job there - I agree that the acoustic tone is great, too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just too hard to mix. There's so much at stake, as it's bare bones and all exposed. Trying to get the vocals and guitar to sound full, yet right as it's just them, was too much of a pain. I've done lots of other tracks with guitar layers that make the vocals easier to blend for me, that I'll release soon. More rock stuff and not as twee as this, which grates even for me. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that about mixing guitar/vocal only music, as it's what I started recording 30+ years ago so it's easier for me actually than trying to fit the many layers typical in modern music. I guess the idea is to just give the guitar and vocal their own space in the sound field and it can be something as simple as a bit of panning. Most of the effort IMO is capturing the parts cleanly with a mic, and EQing unwanted stuff out and only adding a touch of reverb. That is of course one man's opinion, there's no wrong way to mix as long as it also sounds good to someone other than the mixer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
