Andy, your post about parallel and serial compression is part of the reason that it's probably still not 'done'.

I have new stuff to worry about.

Ah! Whoops... I know what you mean...
The thing I'm working on has two issues:
1. Issue the first - oh dear, there's going to be a load of processing because of that stuff I found the other day
2. Second - AGH!! CAN'T PLAY THE F***ING BASS!!! (just spent all afternoon after finishing work to get to a "nearly (barely) better" part than the one I had a week ago)
3. (OK three things) Maybe I can't play the bass part cos the drums are all a*se and cr*p (I binned a drum arrangement last week and I'm now back to an improved "click" pattern".
4. (OK Four things) AGGGHG!!! (general "stuck" brought about by overheating last week, now I'm kinda stalled)
5. And the rest...

The acoustic guitars sound nice though (which means there's probs something fundamentally wrong with them)

But yeah, that parallel and serial compression and the other stuff is hanging over me now...
...definitely feeling like a "new stuff to worry about" millstone rather than the set of "hey! this is cool" tricks...  ;D ;D ;D
I'm hoping to get psyched-up again in the next day or so and, hopefully re-establish some momentum lost by worrying about "can I repeat that mix?" before I've got any parts to mix!!


I did wonder - listening to this, thinking "I'll go for that" with the second mix - whether you know there's something even better hiding in there.

It's a lovely song and Jim's vocal is stunning - I'm wondering if a female ooohing the melody could replace the whistling?

I fiddle and fiddle - adding stuff, trying again, removing stuff.. never happy with what I have.

I'm sure there's more.

Wow that sounds  cool  too  me, maybe  a little  more  bass  but that's  it.
I'm  in the camp write  it, record  it, learn and move  on.
In my opinion perfectionism can't be attend only aspired  too!
Cool stuff loved the  listen!!

Are you kidding me? This is freaking great! I actually preferred the whistling version, but the remix with mono synth is also quite great.

Well done, gents!

Regarding adding more to songs,im feeling lately less is more.
I get caught up in that void of maybe adding strings etc and then it loses its clarity and innocence.
I guess thats what I like about collabs,more input and less headaches.
Im definitely going to strip my sound down ,,,or am I lol.

What a great remix! Bloody brilliant work, Mike.

when i first heard the whistling i hated it, but then it got stuck in my head like an earworm. Loving the new mix, my original thoughts where some lead and backing vox from Tim to finish it off, but you never know where a song is gonna go.

OK - so this is as far as I'm going with this one.

Another fiddle about, a bit more of a lift in chorus 2 & 3, a bit more theme choon (write the theme choon, sing the theme choon).

My ears are fried.
