We lost the masters to some of our older tunes. So we would have to copy the vinyl recording. Just wondering if this recording sounds to dated or flawed to ad to our new cd project. I was hoping to save some time by not having to re-record some of the material and just add a couple of old releases, as is, to the new cd project? Any comments on the record/play quality would be greatly appreciated. Use it or redo it? http://iacmusic.com/play2.aspx?songID=70912&source=Artist%20Page%20Single Thanks! . .

-Great recording in general, though your gear isn't exactly hurting you here... I can hear some very slight overly resonant tones on the upright and a little too much distance for the horn. It's very minor, but since you have reverbs running on this I'd go with something more focused before I hit the FX. Low ratio compression on the bass could help even it out. -I'd also automate the overheads slightly as the player is quite busy on his cymbals and it's a little much the whole way through. -There's some bothersome high end on the upright around the entrance of the horn solo that stays throughout the rest of the song. -Guitar could also use a little leveling out too. -Flute gets pinched at 4:26 Remember that you're only easing dynamics along in this situation as the performances did a lot of that for you. I'm so used to 15 dB of GR on vocals that it's ridiculous; thanks for this inspiring recording. Great summation-!! I am in a live room 20x30x12 and NEED help with how to use bleeding as a plus to the recording. This is my second cd project and rack my brain on how to isolate more, to make the room I have work for me??? Because of the bleed, when I move one fader it also changes the level of the next closes instrument. If I cut the highs on the cymbals the flute high end gets cut as well. If I up the horn vol the drums are louder in the mix. Syn, can you help me with the isolation and EQ problems. Maybe I've made the wrong mic choice on an instrument??? Thanks for your kind comment on the tune-!! -jim

Would you guys please critique the mix and mastering more specifically during the flute and horn solos.
