Title: NEW MIX: Mission (Tricia, Grant, Steffen)
Post by: stoman on March 27, 2012, 11:02:04 AM: I finally got around to remixing this old song. The lyrics were sent to me by a lyricist/poet from Scotland. I wrote the music, and Tricia breathed life into it.

I never quite liked the synth drums in the old version, but it turned out that it was basically a mixing issue. I simply had no idea how to do a decent mix then. ;)

Here is the new one. I hope you enjoy it.

Vocals: Tricia Dovidio
Lyrics: Grant D. McLeman
Music, Mix & Master: Steffen Offermann

Regards,
Steffen

I would say these sound like sample drums rather than synth drums , I don't think they are too bad...the bass was more of an issue for me, sounded like a keyboard ?

I didn't hear the original mix but I am sure you improved it, it ended sooner than expected !

Synth drums and sampled drums is the same thing for me. ;) You are right, these are sampled drums.

Some drum samples are impossible to distinguish from the real thing, but synth generated drums have a sound of their own and not meant to sound realistic. You can't beat an 808 kick on a dance track ;D

Steffen

Germans are known for their precision, yes ?

I have tickets to see a German comedian in a few weeks :o
