Thanks for your kind words

What happened :
Terry sent me the separate tracks for drums, fretless, aguitar, eguitar, congas and vocals.

This is how I tried to improve :

Hi Terry,

I got your files and tried to change the sound image a little.

a. Because your drums-track was a mono one, I took a new one from my SD1 (stereo)

b. Your fretless-bass has many clips so I put another bass from SD1 as an extra, to put some extra 'low' in it. Your fretless is still there but at a lower volume.

c. The e-guitar caused lots of noise and distortion and seemed to have too little treble, so I tried to EQ and remove the noise.

d. Your Vocal track was very good.... except a little 'gap' at 65 seconds. I added the nice Trueverb Stereo (WAVES)

e. I panned a little with the guitars and some reverbs added.

f. Because my equipment is already packed for a gig tomorrow after work I did not use the TC Voiceworks.

g. The congas were recorded mono.... so not much to change there, only a little room reverb.


I think your voice is great Terry and I hope you like this sound-image : No tunnel-alike voice & clear with a nice bright (long) reverb !

All operations on Cubase SX with a few plugins. (about 60 minutes fiddling around with time-stampdifferences per track)

Please let me know what you think of it !

I still do not understand why e.g. the drums track and TC have a mono image..... perhaps you have an idea ?

kindest regards,

Roel
