To This River We Will Run - ScottB55

Sorry for not replying sooner.

Many thanks for your kind words. Glad it's coming through on your system ok. I actually mix my tracks on a stereo set up, so I know it will be fine for all listeners. When I'm 95% finished, I'll check it on my SS system.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks, Mudhoen. Really appreciate your comment.

Hi Steve,

Really glad you like it.

I'll tell you my process and hope I answer your question. I use Sonar X3 Producer for my DAW and do all my tracks as stereo. After I get a sound that I'm fairly happy with, I decide what tracks go where, i.e. vocals on center speaker, strings on rear and so forth and set Sonar accordingly. I, than, bring it into WavePad editor in 96K, 24 bit and visually inspect it and fade in or out as needed then save it to .wav, .flac and mp3. I have to check it on my surround system, since the system I use for mixing is in stereo. I, again, edit the mix from there. I'm still fairly new at this, but I've been happy with the results so far. LMK any other question you may have.

Cheers,
Scott

Thanks so much Wayne. Your comment really humbles me, sir.

The vocals were in a collection I found a while back. They were broken up in short line, so I just put them together to form the lyrics. I, than, worked the instruments around them.

For my drum tracks I use an Alesis electronic drum kit: http://www.alesis.com/products/legacy/dm10-studio-kit and record my tracks on a Tascam digital recorder. I can get whatever drum sound needed. My acoustic kit these days is for display only!

Thanks a lot, James. I'm starting to mix in surround now. It seems to come through nicely on stereo, but sounds great on my surround system.

Thanks so much, Ed. Also glad you don't think it's too long. I came very close to shortening it, but the comments changed my mind.

I, too, like acoustic and also don't do as much as I like. I've heard some of your acoustic tracks and enjoy them a lot.

Cheers,
Scott

Many thanks, Lechina. Glad you like it. I'm never really sure how something like this will go over here. I knew I liked it but wasn't sure here.

Scott

Thanks so much, Danke. Glad you like it and thanks for letting me know it wasn't too long. I was just about to shorten it, since one thing I hate in many tracks I hear is they tend to get monotonous, so I try to keep my tracks interesting from start to finish, so I decided to keep it as is.

Cheers,
Scott
