You've gotta admit a George Martin "left right center" summed mix, sounds
entirely different than a mix of say Nirvana. I'll take the George Martin style
where instruments have a distinct physical position in the mix, it's like being
at a concert close up enough you can hear behind the mics to what's going on on
stage and actually hear physically where the players are in front of you.

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

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

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.
