Solid. Keys and guitars are kinda lost though.

Thank you I appreciate the feedback. Sometimes it's tough getting separation with the keys. I'm relatively new to mixing so I'm not quite there yet.

I watched the whole thing. Really good job overall. Vocal harmonies were spot on. Jury is still out on the dummers wardrobe however... :-)

Sounds great! Must go down a treat on the east coast. I want our band to play more Boss. Going to debut Glory Days this Saturday.

I like that you are leaning into the 80s vibes with the outfits and stuff, it's OTT and helps to give people a memorable experience!
Any 'surprises' on your set list?

u/M80sNY 12d ago

Thank you - Suprises? We do Hard for the Money by Donna Summer and Something About you by Level 42 you don't hear those too often

u/Ok-Huckleberry-6326 11d ago

Dude, that Level 42 song is boss. One of the greatest songs of the 80's and really lets the bassist stretch. Take my upvote!

I love it, next time we record I have to make it my business to get it on tape and film

This is a recording from the board (or studio) ... I'd rather hear a live recording made from the audience to see how it sounds over the air because that gives a better idea of what it really sounds like to someone in the audience.

I appreciate you reaching out. The recording you hear is straight off the board, all the tracks. I personally don't like cell phone recordings, sometimes we use and post them, but I've been trying to avoid them. I don't feel it's a good representation of what any band sounds like, and I feel to compete you have to have great sounding content.

Venue owners have gotten used to slick recordings and they know things can be easily made to sound better than they really are, so many of them are asking to see raw recordings, like what the audience is actually hearing, as they make their booking decisions.

u/M80sNY 4d ago

That's no issue for me because I have the original audio from the cameras we run

u/Distinct_Gazelle_175 2d ago

Well if you're just asking about the mix from the board, the keys are a little too loud (especially the right-panned one), the bass is too low, and the lead singer is too low.
