Love this! Your brave use of panning permits your special and highly atmospheric treatment of your kit to really shine. The track is perfectly suited to your approach, in my view. It reminds me of the work of Greg Keelor - agreat compliment in my world.

In the event that you captured a truck passing in isolation, consider dropping that in behind the cymbal swell at 4:29.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much ,sir! So you actually like the hard panning?
The reason for panning is that the drumpart had to be edited due to a problem I had while laying the track down. The playback track somehow stopped 2 or 3 times while recording. (I think it was the interface)...so I had to slow down my playing to not get lost on the click....

The engineer/producer refused to edit the 3 tempo compensations I did,(to keep the feeling of the track) So I had to do it in my studio and send him the drumtrack back (in aiff..for PT) with the pilot track panned hard left, to have a piece to strart dubbing the guitars, vocals etc....

the track you here is all pre produced by our singer on his tone port (w. sm58) We gonna dub trumpets as well....somewhere strange...i hope

But I will try to keep the panning in mind...

regards

Practical concerns aside, the panning is not only fine but adds to creative and, if you can stomach the term, retro sensibilities. Where will you put the trumpets, center perhaps?

trumpets in the center..probably...Not quite sure if I´ll pan the drums that hard...but sounds intresting. Any ideas on cymbal compression...plug ins??? de---essing??? or just Eq-ing???

All intruments and voices will be dubbed...this month.
The song you hear is just a cheap demo (for laying down the drums)...but I love it

A few ideas for the tracking:

Preamps will be my Siemens C4 or the boring Focusrite C24 pres from the studio...depends how fast my tech is with my console;-)

voice.....M149
acoustic guitar....Gibson Jumbo with M149/or Gefell
E-git....Gretsch brian setzer sign....into ....Vox AC30/Ampeg VT-22....with MD421/SM7b
Trumpets...RE20 or MD421
maybe strings....

still in production...I´ll post the final mix.

thank you very much for the response...
