My opinion, and not one who's done much in the way of mixing, so just what
my ears tell me -- The cut with the effects and the snappy drums and bass
sounds best to me. I don't really get much out of the keyboard work on
either cut, as the overall mix on the one I like really jumps out and is
well-placed in the virtual sounds stage.
To me the keyboard in both cuts is subdued enough in the background to not
be essential to the overall mix.
Yes, by all means put in that trumpet but use the guitar as a backup soloist
if you don't want it to carry the melody.
Nice stuff.

Subject: [ddots-l] musical thoughts
List,
I have a challenge/ favor to ask of you.
Basically, I'm completely about to explode because of some of the work a
keyboardist/ programmer has done for me. Below is a link to a folder which
I am inviting anyone who's willing to download.
The purpose of all of this is to get your musical wisdom/ opinions. The
folder contains 2 versions of the same song. Here's how its all laid out:
One version is a "mock up", which features my keyboard playing, programming
and a scratch lead guitar. Another version features the keyboard playing
and programming from one of the biggest guys in the business today. Keep in
mind, the same scratch guitar appears on both cuts. I'm not asking for
opinions on the guitar, its a scratch, I'm asking for your thoughts on the
keyboards and programming. My question to you is, which sounds the best to
you.
All that's left to do on either one of these tracks is to add trumpet, or,
at least that's how its supposed to be.
What you will hear is a guitarist who don't play keyboard, and a person who
makes his living playing keyboard and doing sound design.
I'll leave it up to you to tell me what you think. After a few days I'll
post to the list and let you know which cut I programmed completely, and
which is the peace of "work" from the other person.
I just ask for your ears and thoughts...
Here's the link:
