Would love some feedback!
Hey guys I just finished up with mixing on Panic. Would love if someone would lead an ear and give me some feedback! Thank you.

I'm purposely listening through a 32" Samsung TV. Not the greatest speaks but I won't have the rest of my monitors up until tomorrow sometime as I'm reassembling my studio. So, listening through these speaks in various preprogrammed sound settings, the bass is not what I would call driving nor do I think loud enough. I heard another mix of this a couple of weeks ago. The bass was pumping it throughout that mix. The mix that I'm listening to tonight loses the bass from the get go. Of course this is just my opinion. You may think that I'm way off. And that's ok. Everyone has opinions. The song itself has a strong beat but my line of thought is that the bass could really drive this puppy home. Did you use a reference track? If so, what was it? Also and maybe more importantly, what are you using for monitors? To make sure that it wasn't the TV speaks losing the bottom, I tested it against a couple of different recordings. They are: Go West with Pino Palladino on bass. Look this guy up and you'll find that he has done a lot of session work and tours with A listers. We close our Eyes The King of Wishful Thinking Next up is Level 42 with Mark King. Like Pino, anything Mark King does on bass is pretty much golden. Something About You The Sun Goes Down (Living It Up) I'll close with Wang Chung and Nick Feldman on bass, a Steinberger no less. Dance Hall Days What's So Bad About Feeling Good. At The Speed Of Life Everybody Wang Chung Tonight I listed this last tune just because it's fun. Lets go back to monitors. Obviously we want excellent monitors for our mains. Unfortunately for us, many listeners are not as discerning about what they listen through. How do we get past this? Play your mix through a TV or a stock car stereo. They'll give you an idea of where you are....but... Something to think about is maybe getting a second set of monitors to augment what you already have. I have a pair of Auratone 5C Super-Sound-Cubes from the 80's. They get me much closer to what most people are listening through. Each has a single 5" driver in a small square box. They're still handmade in the USA. Aside from my Tones, I also use a pair of Yamaha NS-10M's for final mixes. Bruce Swedien mixed 80% of Michael Jackson's Thriller album on Tones. That's impressive because he as his choice of Westlakes, Ureis, or other really high end
Suggestion for M_dot_C
I've noticed several times when "time" becomes an issue. Things get changed and people get confused as to what time a thing is going to happen in their location. Why don't you switch to 24 hour UTC time? That way everyone knows what time the event will be occurring even if they are traveling. People in fixed locations can simply learn their offset. Or they can simply type in... "What time is it in [ my city ] at 17:30 UTC 11/15/2026? Most everyone's phone, tablet, computers are tied to UTC and they will get an exact time. Aviation is all tied to UTC/Zulu. 2026-09-28T16:52:00Z Year-Month-Day(T=Time)Hour(in 24 format):Minute:Seconds(Zulu = tied directly to UTC:00:00) But again any search engine can convert normal spoken words. So "The show starts at 13:00 ( 1PM ) UCT on October 2nd" works just fine. If you live on east coast USA that's 9AM EDT 10/02. If you live in Madrid it's 15:00 ( 3PM )11/02 When a contest ends "at midnight" it's much more easily understood and can not be improperly calculated if the contest ends at 23:59 UCT 10/01/2026. It would simply eliminate all confusion even as time zones change through travel or seasonal standard vs daylight savings. Also it seems to me if you had an instructor in different time zone or a mentor call and one party or both need to quickly coordinate a time. Anyway just a thought. If it saved everyone a couple minutes on all the varied communications, videos, etc., it would seem worth it in the long run.

I absolutely agree! Great suggestion.
Seids Hits It Outta Da Park!
I was just perusing Facebook. My vertical feed included a pitch ad from Seids. She’s hawking the Mixing & Mastering Cheat Sheet Binder. Get it by signing onto her website. And if you want to pick up a ton of Logic tips and methods, buy her book. Sabrina really knows her stuff. She has a ton of instructional YT vids too. She just recently published a Logic for iOS book.

Sabrina usually runs a sale twice or 3 X’s a year. Holidays, her birthday, and around now or whenever she’s something new to sell. I’m really that she and Mastering.com partnered up. She writes great music and she is all over fast production with Logic.

Her classes are good. She does freebies that are valuable as well as pay per views.
For your weekend enjoyment

Space…The Final Frontier Quik Update 9.13.2026
And to think that I started this mess 12 days ago on 9.2. It has been a very busy weekend. Moved bookshelves, corner unit and three CD shelves to the vocal area. This entailed removing all of the books (a couple hundred), CDs, and whatnot including awards from way back when, removing shelves from the carcases, move every down stairs, position, reload, relax. The good Part aside from getting it all moved is that the vocal area feels quieter. Plus I found a ton of books I no longer need. Looks like I’ll be busy listing on ebay and Marketplace during my spare time. Once the shelves were complete, it was time to take the slanted 30 space two bay oak rack down. Fortunately it’s empty, so it weighed much less. The challenge here was clearing out temp space for where it was going along with the path to get it there. The biggest challenge even though it was easy was to take the upstairs door off its hinges and go down. I suspected that I might have needed to remove one or both vertical jam pieces in the doorway. FortunArely that wasn’t the case. The next challenge was getting help to take her down. Enter my youngest step son Matthew. With his help, moving this piece was a breeze. Then again, he’s a beast. He got a full ride playing defensive end for D1 school. He graduated a couple of years ago but still works out for body maintenance. That was the weekend. Now to start populating the racks with gear. Once all is racked, it will be time to wrestle the snake (wiring harness). Even though all of the conductors and plugs are numbered and I have a master location list, It’s going to take some time. I’m hoping to get that done and test everything by Thursday or Friday. If all works as hoped for, I should be operational this coming weekend. Woo Hoo!
