Hi Tom,
I've been away from the forums for a while, but came across this tune this morning. Really nice work! Strong mix, and just the right amount of reverb gives it an almost "live" feel. Kudos for the subtle string backgrounds!Really enjoyed it.. Rick.

Thanks Tom!

A very Merry Christmas to you and yours as well! Compliments on the Jason Mraz cover— made for nice moment for me.... One of my wife’s favorite tunes, and while I was playing it on the “house” stereo, Deena was in the kitchen singing the lyrics....sweet! Best for the New Year, Rick.

Thanks Tom!

Really nice tribute to a motown and gospel icon, with a voice that wouldn’t quit.Nice work with the organ and horns! Rick. Also a shout out for the satnav song... Nice work. I would literally be lost without mine!! No sense of direction.Rick.

I'll have to give Starship Krupa a second thumbs up on the Samson SR850's. I bought a pair last winter for about 35 bucks, and find they work well for me for mixing, with what I consider a fairly flat response. Certainly no hyped bass response. If anything, they're a bit strong in the mid to high ra...

Definitely agree with "outteh"-- really fine orchestration. Will wait to hear the final version with vocals. Nice work! Rick.

Hi Tom-- Ahhh, another trip back through the years. I remember, of course the original Donovan version, and the "Super Session" version of Kooper, Bloomfield, and Stills...1968, if my addled memory serves. That album was played to death in the hippy-dippy group house that I lived in at the time. Nic...

Howdy Tom, I've been away from the forums and Mixcraft for a while-- it's good to see you back. I've been enjoying the multiple trips down memory lane! I've just noticed a similarity to your voice with Lou Reed's(this is a good thing)-- don't know if you were ever a fan, but have you ever considered...

Lovely! Having expressed your fondnesss for cake, I think you deserve an extra slice for this one! I listened repeatedly, and enjoyed everything about it-- lyrics, sentiment, fine guitar work and vocals, and beautifully smooth mix. Many thanks for sharing this with us. Rick. The video is also pleasa...

Hi Greg, As always, thanks for the response. I was in the wrong place for the overdub settings, got that all straightened out. As for the second part of my question-- seems I was temporarily infatuated with some of the live looping I see on youtube-- that has passed. On further research, I've learne...

Many thanks for the detailed follow-up on "Pet Sounds". Regardless of how he did it, Brian Wilson's genius at composing and arranging vocal harmonies is magic. It certainly formed a part of my life's "soundtrack". The vocals only link you provided opened up many other songs/groups' vocals for study....

Hello all, Recently started playing with loop mode, so, 2 questions. I'm not using supplied MC loops, but recording my own. When I first started playing with it, I set up a 12 measure loop with virtual piano, and when the loop restarted, I could still hear the first loop to play along with. For some...

The Wichita Lineman is still on the line....

Howdy Tom!

Welcome back. Nice work with the classic swamp rock. This tune and "Green River" have always been CCR favorites. Thanks, Rick.

Sounds pretty darn good to me! I like the orchestration, and to my ears, balance between vocal/instrumentation is right on. Congratulations! Rick

Hi Mark, Thank you for the response. Glad to hear that I'm not alone on this. I've done some playing around with my mix today, re-did EQ settings, and have made some good progress. I think simply a matter of training my ears more carefully to these monitors, and knowing what to expect from them. It ...
