BACK TO YOU (with Mike Basil)

[stoman]

New mix of a song we finished in 2014. This version is a little less wet than the original version, which IMO suits the song better.

Enjoy (hopefully)!

Everything is on the right place! This should be played on air! 

The saxophone is icing on the cake!

Brilliant job Steffen & friends!

[Greeny]

Radio-ready and radio-friendly. Pure class all round. Everything is perfectly played and placed in the arrangement.

Superior stuff.

And that sax sounds soooo good!

Very cool - I never heard the original but this sounds great. "Less wet" is the norm nowadays but I wonder when it will come back again, maybe it already has. I always preferred the drier sound, much better I think.

Peace,

Mark

Well done to all... Steffen... can u elaborate a little on the drums on this one? Mostly I'm wandering what mics where used and the effect. Nice crisp and punchy sound... I dig it!!!... big time.

Well, I can't tell you how Dean recorded his drums, but besides being a very good drummer, he also provides quality recordings that are fun to mix. Here is a link to his YouTube site:

I'll have to load the project into my DAW to see how I processed the drums (I have mixed too many songs since then to remember), but I doubt that I did much more than some parallel compression on the kick and snare and a little bit of distortion on the bus. Probably a tad of EQ here and there, and I usually use some tape emulation on drums too, to create a more saturated sound.

If you want to know it exactly, let me know, and I'll try to find time for some screen shots.

BTW, has anybody here ever done any screencasts (using Windows 10)? Any recommendations for good, free software?

(Just in case ...)
