lol, I love the compliment of being classed as young.

But I'm in my 40s, so know what the older mixes sound like.

I too don't like mushy mixes.

Cheers
Darren

  No, it's just how we grew up hearing things mixed.  You and I grew up with 
lead instruments truly out front as if at a concert.  Younger listeners are 
used to the mushy big glob in your face mixes of today where it might as    
well be mono unless something pans for effect.

    Thanks all I thought about turning them down abit but I'm not sure. I am a 
guitar player and tend to like em out front maybe a bit to much.
    I used trilogy for the bass, true piano wide for the piano, 1 instance of 
omnisphere to do the melody an octive up,
     could have used real guitar but I like the sound. I also used omnisphere 
for the stuff in the intro and a bit through out the song. A patch called city 
slumbers, one called Across the sky, and finally one called gently crushing 
eternity.
    For the drums, I used smart loops mediam straight rock this time.
    I also like drums on demand a lot.
    But the smart loops seem to fit this one.

      I know what you're talking about with regards to the panned guitars. I 
think, though, that if he turned them down a bit they would blend in just fine.

        It kind of reminded me of Jo Satriani if he was trying to do country.

        Nice guitar harmonies.

        Wanna give us a run down of hwo you put it together?  Which soft 
synthes, plugins etc.

        The only think I wasn't sure about was the separation of the guitars, 
it kind of made them too separate from the mix, as if they'd been added on 
later.

        cheers
        Darren

          I just did this today in the studio and liked the way it came out.
          Just thought I'd share.
          I think if you click on the link below it'll take you there.
