a Spacey acoustic/electric ode to moonshine, and it's after effects.



i just finished putting my studio room together in the new old house i just moved into....
and this is my first project in there, with new monitor setup and all, i've got a completely new acoustic environment i'm going to have to learn to mix in.

this is a new version of this song, with added bass track and new mix from scratch.



this features a Taylor 414 full sized grand auditorium, and a Seagull Artist Mosiac, mixed together,
along with a custom build SHORTSCALE USACG stratocaster doing the electric work thru an old mesa boogie head.
Bass is a Carvin LB70, thru a sansamp bass di, mic pre and compressor.



it is mixed for a softer sound, and is not mastered hot, so CRANK it up.
it wants to be loud, it really does.

how does the low end translate on your system?
this is what i'm working on with this one.
i want the low end to be full, but not boomy.

well, its been a week, guess i'll bump it

i think this one is a better version, with edited solo guitar tracks, new panning scheme, a lot of small tweaks that add up to dial it in more.

but

i might have reduced the bass guitar a bit in the mastering, still not sure about the low end translation now.
of course, it never ends.
LOL

that would be an easy fix, i think it's ok in the mix, but i used Multiband comp on the mastering of this one, and did not on the first one.

even tho i set it for a long attack, and not much compression, it might have smoothed it off a bit too much.
still on the fence with that one.

i left the other one up, just in case you want to bother with comparing them.

saturday night moonshine get together
