No-One Knows Midnight Like Melinda

Here's a mix I have just finished, sadly no Pitbull instruments were used on this one, the baritone is a Tele kit from a long defunct company and the Tele is a Squier CV Thinline with Blackguard pups, string parts are played on a Yamaha Clavinova

Max wrote the song back in the early 70s and released it in 1975, we have reworked it quite a lot from it's straight country original format

I'm only leaving it on SC for a few days to give folks a listen

Deleted, needs work

[dave.king1]

About to do a further remix

[blinddrew]

Will await the next remix!

Will await the next remix!

It's getting there, I didn't like the drums they had heavy gated reverb ( 1980s Phil Collins ) which Max liked, I've now stripped them right back and they still have a decent presence but the wollieness is gone and I have also tightened the harmonies

I will obviously be having debates with Max about the drum production before I assail anyone's ears with the new mix

[blinddrew]

Funny how it's the simplest of instruments that cause the biggest headaches!

[Simon Barden]

Tell him he can have the gated reverb drums if he wears spandex and has poodle-permed hair for the publicity shot.

[ross.pearson]

Glad I got a listen in when I did! I liked what I heard but will be interested to hear the new mix and compare

[dave.king1]

A fat bald 75 yr old man in spandex is a horribly thought Simon

[Simon Barden]

I know. I thought it would put him off the gated drums idea.

[blinddrew]

It's certainly put me off and I never liked it in the first place!
