So you had some noise reduction working on it, like iZotope RX? The compressor/EQ thing sounds a little bit fancy, reminds me of a trick I learned in Pro Tools a long time ago for multi-track live automation doing segments of a song at a time. I was told that’s how they do it in Nashville.
Yes, this one really had something special about it. I don’t recall hearing it previously. The feel and vibe of it is so fun, and the vocals and guitars as well as rhythm section just really made it stand out.
kind of yes, but without putting a hard noise gate on it. I wanted the the raw analog noise he had preserved, to glue the track together. I used to apply gating to reduce noise before making the track louder. I often didn’t the side artifacts. Though I am not an expert in noise reduction by any way, when I saw someone do noise reduction by sidechaining it by multing and driving the level up and down manually in the busier and less busy parts, it felt natural and I liked it a bit better than simply putting a gate on it and calling it a day. Just playing around.
That makes sense, the noise floor could be ever-changing throughout the song, and a static gate might not address that very well. That’s a fascinating technique!
feaker,
Listening to the newest mix. Even though the sound quality is very good, this song has a vintage vibe for me. The vocals fit the song well. Nice guitar playing. Nice melodies all around; I like it!
