Anthony Is Not Happy with this Happy Song

By PantherMountain on February 2, 2020 6:19 pm

I fought this mix all week and could not get it to sound like what it sounded like in my head.  Retracked everything, added more, took stuff away and still not happy.

Anyway, I ran out of time, so this is as good as it's gonna get

Guitar - Tom Anderson Tele
Amp - Revv D20 w/ SL Drive for dirty tones
Bass - Fender Aerodyne
Effects - Julia, Dispatch, Slo combo (that's my entire effects board, so get used to seeing those)

A nice vibe, nice tones, all there!!!!

I like the guitar a lot.  Reminiscent of Explosions in the Sky but with fewer layers?

I am happy with it. agree with Explosions feel, agree with 'nice tones'. you got a pretty big sound here I'd say.

thanks dude.  Don't necessarily hate anything about it, it's just not what I wanted.

I've been listening to the new Caspian record exclusively since it came out, so a ton of inspiration from that.

That's unfortunate, because this song makes me quite happy. I guess you could try adding chiptune, see if that cheers you up.

I like this! The song builds and becomes a powerful uplifting feeling. Your guitar is very nice!

Definitely feeling the Explosions In The Sky Vibe and I am really glad it has no chiptune regardless of how happy chiptune can make you feel.

it makes me happy... :-)
i'm also pro gentle usage of chiptunes.
only the snares kinda bother me, i'd preferred a more straighter rhythm.

For the record, I like the song, I just hated my mix.  It didn't sound like how I wanted it to sound.

Thanks guys smile
