hi all
i've just finished re-recording a track i linked to the list a few weeks
ago ... i've tried incorporating some suggestions, and most importantly
- i think my guitar is in tune!
http://www.machinehasnoagenda.com/downloads/the_girls_-_the_sailor_(final).…
i think it sounds heaps better than the previous version, but it doesn't
really matter in any case, as it is more just one of a few tracks i'm
throwing together for a band i'm trying to get happening ...
but if anyone still wants to try their hand at mixing this song, just
let me know and i'll see if i can pack up the tracks into a torrent file.
should have my next one up soon.

Great! I listened to the first version again the other day - I can't
wait to listen to this.
...listens...
That's really good! I'd suggest trying a few mixes, because it sounds a
little muddy in parts, but you could fiddle forever and I do like
this.
I'm glad you got around to doing this, it really does sound better.

... good! Thhat must mean we'll get more output...
Let me know when you do your UK tour.
but if anyone still wants to try their hand at mixing
this song, just
let me know and i'll see if i can pack up the tracks into a torrent file.
I'd like a play, if you don't mind. I'm not sure I'd do a better job,
but this is a different sound to what I normally work with and it
would be good to play with.
should have my next one up soon.
I'm looking forward to hearing it.
Keep up the good work,
James

thanx ;)
i think i will abandon it for the moment, though, or i'll never get on
to the next one ... heh heh. i'm hoping someone else will nail a perfect
mix, though, so hop onto the torrent!

if there is any success to be had, it's choking mysteriously on my own
vomit just before the overseas tour begins :D

no problem, i'd be glad to hear it through a fresh set of ears! just
grab the link from the thread - "torrent for 'the sailor'" .
it's a bit shaky (the torrent that is), but it'd be good to see how it goes.
have fun.

Hi shayne
Nice song but as james said I think you can improved your mix again.
Global impressions :
- the drums are to much in the background for my taste.
- the beginning of the song is a little muddy, the combinaison of the
vocal, background vocal and rythm guitar is maybe a little to much in
the mid-low mid range, things become much more clear after 1:20.
What I would try :
- A little more drum
- A little less rythm guitar before 1:20 or maybe just less low-mid on
this track
- Something can be done also on the background vocal before 1:20, after
they are fine but before they are maybe to much present.
Just my 2 € cents ;-)

thanx, and yes - listening to it, i can see the need for more drum and a
bit of tone control on the guitar ... not convinced about the vocals,
though (probly a bit more subjective?).
however, i think i'll go insane if i listen to this song one more time
(thus joining my wife and kids, lord forgive me). therefore - i'm
open-sourcing the mixing of this song (re: torrent thread) :)
thanx for your input ... i've been learning a bunch from this list :)

Hi Shayne, (et al.)
You can stop seed the torrent now. Here's a more permanent one.
http://www.bag.org/~bengan/the_girls_-_the_sailor.tar.gz.torrent
Tell me when you want it to stop. It's no problem letting this one
stay up for a while. In fact, I'm thinking of putting up a server for
this purpose. To seed audio files for LAU that is. It may take a while
though.
regards,

cool - it was a bit shaky, but got there in the end ... i'm gonna have
to read up on seeding :)
should be fine for a week or so ... but that sounds like a great idea,
dedicating a server for this purpose.
thanx heaps.
