    @Jungle Jim: We updated our process to get a better clearer video after Dec 9th 2021 - after this was published. So all older collabs would need to be republished to take advantage of the new video quality. I am republishing now. As a precaution I have downloaded all tracks and the original published version.

    Sounding great to me! Appreciate your hard work on the mix with so many tracks! I don't believe the original Crowded House vocal is double tracked. I tried double tracking it myself and it didn't sound right, so it probably was reverb / delay. Glad to be a part of this. Thanks

    1tricktony tudan thx1138 brijamcam Protis - Hi Guys - I've done an offline mix and uploaded, sounds wonderful to my lofi ears. If I've committed and mixing cardinal sins (too much reverb?!) let me know and I'll tweak. I'm immensely happy with the way this has turned out, you are all wonderful talents, thank you all for participating. If everyone agrees I will mark this as complete.

    sounds great man. just a bit too much reverb for my taste but I am anti verb :)

    @tudan : Yea, I get you. Tony's main vocal is a bit 'peaky' but it's also a great take, so I was reluctant to have him redo, also part of my ethos on here is that BH is a very 'immediate' medium and I wanted to work with what I had. But mainly I LOVE reverb - I could've seriously gone to town on this :-)

    Great mix Jim! I'm with Ross when he says there's a bit too much reverb. I used to mix like that too, until I thought better of it and found that less is more.

    @Protis: Thanks man - I feel a consensus building around less verb...

    Nice fadeout too! I did notice though that my third track is still slightly out of sync. Maybe nudge it a bit to the right in DAW mode, and then it should sound better.

    @Protis: can you nudge it in daw and I'll redo the mix offline with that change and with slightly less reverb...

    @tudan : On the original the main vocal sounds treated - is it 'doubled' do you think, or something else?

    A touch of Delay mebbe?

    @Jungle Jim: I think maybe it has a little delay, which may have been common during the 80s. I know that gated reverb was all the rage during that particular decade.

    @Jungle Jim: I think I saved a mix a whle back with the sync corrected. Now if only I can get DAW mode to load properly... :-P

    @Protis: Actually if you tell me the track number and the offset - I can just put that into the daw

    @Jungle Jim: my second keyboard track is seventh from the top (Track 7 - long organ part) and the offset is 00:10.376. I may have changed it from before, but this is the offset you should put into the offline DAW.

    OK - here is a version with KB tracks all nicely lined up (I hope) and main vocal without reverb :-)

    hahaha thanks tudan and Protis for steering me away from the evil that is reverb.. It does sound better though. A learning moment :-)

    @Jungle Jim: Once again I agree with Ross about the mix! It's so much better now, especailly with less reverb! I found that out the hard way myself.
