revised Run away with me..with thanks

[Glenn Mitchell]

Thanks so much to all those who had suggestions for improving this one.
It is my first shot at mixing several trax with Audacity and really enjoyed tweaking with the visuals.
I traded the heavy drums for a softer jazz kit and kept it very simple.
I cut out one track of vibes (It was stereo and taking up headroom.)
I cut back on horns and other instruments particularly when the singing was happening.
That really brought out the vox due to the lack of fighting for space and reduced the "Kitchen Sink" effect.. I hope.
I have not got the hang of EQing on audacity yet but looking forward to learning.
Mastered with the Dance mix for a warm feeling.

Just top quailty, songwriting to the max, so much happening brass,guitar and xylophone just to much to metion. Really reminds me of the great Steely Dan and your vox is very reminiscent of Donald Fagan, enjoyed this so much!!

I think this was a fantastic mix Glenn. Everything cut through very well - Lots of cool things going on.

The vox fit in really well, and I liked the sax parts (They sounded real - If I didn't know you had a G-20 I wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.)

Awesome tune!!!

Still love the first version, but this version is a real winner. The kitchen sink is still there, but is a slighly smaller one this time!!

Nice one Glenn!

What a seriously great track here Glen, your new mix cleans it up real nice.  I really love this song, I love the laid back way you sing this and play everything.  This is top stuff, I can't stop listening to this, it is beautiful!!!!!

i love this mix, it reminds me of lambchop and has a drunken woozy feel to it magic.

[Glenn Mitchell]

Thanks everyone.
 Hmm glancing at your avatar, The "drunken woozy feel" comment is a little suspect OHR. Lol, Thanks in any case.
