Only a Smile

[Farmerbrown]

I've gone from thousands of plays on SC to almost zero over the last few years. Whatever. The artists themselves will do their own promotion I just like to post test mixes for feedback (with their permission). Recorded on a budget at lightening speed (no, not warp speed), this one came out nice just the same. Could use a horn section, proper back vocals and a bit more time on the mix, but the budget is just not there. Too bad.

The mix sounds fine to me. Crisp and simple. Can't you use MIDI for budget horns ? Sounds like most of your stuff is live.

100% live. Yes, Native Instruments "session horns pro" (which i have) is pretty good, but these guys would never agree to that 'cause it's not "ital" ...though neither is the piano. The contradictions of modern orthodoxy.

Thanks for listening, Dante.

Well, you could tell em the horn section is coming late at night - past the rest of bands bedtime so they might as well go home....then sneak the session horns pro in your backdoor at midnight
