NEW MIX: Mission (Tricia, Grant, Steffen)

[stoman]

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

Nice melody 

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 !

Thanks, Mark! Yes, the bass (and everything else except the vocals) is synthetic. I did not redo any of the original seps.

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

Very true, Mark. It's just that I play both on my synthesizer, so my personal term for it is "synth drums" in both cases. I'll try to be more precise in the future when I talk to others who cannot read my weird mind.

Germans are known for their precision, yes ?

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