Abbey Road #7 - Here Comes the Sun (Completed)

I am fine with it. The more the merrier.

Good for me! I'm glad Janet is joining us in this project.

Fine with me mate. Always enjoy collabing with Janet :-)

YvesC sorry I missed this. Ok by me!

I am too 2000%, thx to you all !

I made a YT version : https://youtu.be/V3VRf1baB04

@YvesC: it's painfully onviousI gotta improve my videos to give you something to work with. :-)

Haha, not obvious to film a drum, it occupies a lot of space. I like a lot the viewing angle you got here, we see your face, your work and your drums. Jason, Rob and Claude's pictures are pretty sharp, I'd be curious to know what camera they use.

@YvesC: I use an Amazon special! Nexigo

Good Depth-of-field, close or far, all is focus.

@YvesC: cbgb - I agree - Bob's camera angle covers everything

@YvesC: I have two - one of them has very poor lighting for some reason - and no way to adjust on Mac anyway.

@YvesC: Awesome video Yves. I will use it for my YT channel. I was still mixing it this morning. If you are curious to hear the result, it's her : https://drive.google.com/file/....d/1uXGh85Yhk4BryP5-K . And the cam I used is a Logitech C920.

Hi Claude, would you like the original video through Google drive ?

Yes, I will certainly listen to your mix. :)

If you'd like to know, main thing I did to the mix: Vocal: more brightness, compression, reverb. Guitar: Haas effect, reverb. Bass: compression. And many other small edits...

here it is if needed : https://drive.google.com/drive..../folders/1zpxxwn-3go

@YvesC: Thanks Yves. I downloaded it

You are totally free to replace audio by yours if you prefer :)

(I choose to put guitar on the right because visually, given your body position, your picture was better on the right and I made the audio follow ) haha

Waiting for Jason bofore killing Google-Drive

@YvesC: Ha ha, you're a perfectionnist :)

@YvesC: Finally i used your awesome video with my audio mix after refining it again for my youtube channel. Thanks Yves!

@YvesC: thanks Yves, I have downloaded your awesome video from Google Drive now as well :-) So, you are OK with us using your video to post on our own channels? (will credit the video production to you, of course)

Cool,... in an ideal paralell universe we would be together in Abbey Road Studio all around the mixing console :D

Hi Jason, totally, it's all ours after all. Thanks for some credits :)

Honestly, my opinion is vocals are way way too loud, guitar too loud, bass should be louder to match drums, keys too low. But if I'm the only one to see it this way then ok.

@YvesC: I thought the vocals felt a bit strong I agree. I’ll take another run at the mix. Apologies if I rushed it

I’ll shoot for a better overall balance

Re-mixed. Comments?

10000x better :-)

May have been my fault :-p - I didn't make any adjustments to levels when I uploaded the vocal tracks, because I still don't really understand very well how mixing works in BandHug, haha. And I'm not the best at mixing anyway - but latest mix sounds ok to me. If anything I lower the bass juuuusssst a touch?

OK, so on further listens, I'm finding I can't really hear the backing vocals hardly at all. Rob, I submitted a mix with some extra panning on the BV's to help them pop out a little more. Also suggested some slight panning on guitar and keys to give each a bit more room in the mix. See what you think. Feels like the sound in DAW mode is not exacly the same as in the final published video so... might be a bit tricky I guess.

Rob, do you publish from studio or DAW ?

Jason, very that you propose panning guit on right and keys on left, that's exactly what i was thinking. !

@YvesC: Studio. I selected the DAW mix - is that the way we do it now? Not sure with the recent site changes

@CyberBass: That's perfect from DAW since I believe Jason proposed a mix from DAW.

@YvesC: well I loaded Jason’s daw mix, applied settings, then went to studio and published selecting the daw mix tick box. I was told panning tracks is not picked up if you publish from daw? I never do this panning so I have no experience

@CyberBass: eh, I will ask dennisski , in the old days Studio panning were not transmitted to DAW but now that DAW has Pan I guess/hope that DAW pan goes into final render, Dennis ?

@YvesC: panning works in daw it's just reversed. If you publish from daw panning is reversed. Publish from studio(do not use daw mix) and the panning is correct

haha, yes, just DL the mp3 and see that L&R are inversed but it works.

For testing purposes, could you Rob, publish from studio without the DAW mix box. Curious to see how it will compare to actual one.

@YvesC: All done - how does that one sound?

@CyberBass: Besides overall level and L&R being inverted I don't see the differences. Did Jason sent a new mix proposal ?

Real hard to mix in Bandhug.

I spent an hour mixing on my daw, just to see . Here's what it looks like for now. https://drive.google.com/file/....d/13eU5TwAWHR5uYUh2-

@Claude : That does sound very good. Maybe I can emulate on Hug...

Ok, I took another crack at it. It really depends where you listen in the song - with all instruments going, individual levels can seem lower. I hope I got it right this time, taking into account everybody's feedback

@CyberBass - I think that sounds pretty good Rob, probably as good as we'll get it on BandHug. @Claude - I LOOVVVE your offline mix! Going to download and use that when I post on socials :-)

CyberBass I think also that the mix is good Rob.. Maybe some EQ on the vocals could help but the overall balance is good. @jdOzman: Happy you like it Jason, but it was just an attempt and it needs to be improved a lot. Will try to find time to work on it and let you know then.

Sounds great Jason - perfect!
