Hey all, I finally got a chance to process Wiz's mix through the Silver Bullet. I did two passes: one with Presence boosted, and the other with Air boosted and Vintage engaged. I used A>N mode to increase the RMS of the mix quite a bit. I believe I roughly matched the peak level in this mix to that of Wiz's mix. Feel free to fine tune in your DAW to do whatever level matched comparsions. The massive increase in RMS energy in these two clips is all due to the saturation and transient clipping that the "A" and "N" Mojo Amps bring to the table. As for the tone shaping portions of the box... Tight was engaged which I felt gave the bottom end a warm tape-like low end. With the 2-band Baxandall EQ I boosted Subs a little bit and then Presence/Air a bit more. That really helped the mix come alive and sound polished. You can see the settings I had in the attached pic. Lay Me Down - Silver Bullet PRESENCELay Me Down - Silver Bullet VINTAGE AIRBrad

Thanks wiz! It was my pleasure. I really enjoyed the vibe of the song. It kind of reminded me of Beck's Sea Change album. I wanted to hear it playing on vinyl. My gut told me you would probably like the VINTAGE AIR setting more than the PRESENCE, but I figured I would include it because it did something nice to the vocals that pulled them forward in the mix.

Brad thanks mate... and thanks again for posting it.. its really cool of you. Its just a little expensive for me, and with being in OZ, the duties would add a bucket load.... Have you ever considered doing a non preamp version.. you know a 2 buss kinda deal... for those of us who already have existing gear? I know (well actually I don't 8) ... but I am guessing) its real tough being a manufacturer and dealing with the specific wishes of everyone... if there was a two bus version around a grand... that would be really cool cheers and thanks again Wiz

You're welcome! I'm always thinking about new ideas over here at Rogue Planet Command so who knows what the droids may make available in the future. And I'm always willing to consider the needs and wants of customers/friends. I really appreciate the feedback I get from folks. Sometimes folks have some crazy ideas that aren't really feasible or marketable...or that I do not find personally compelling. It's still fun to hear those ideas. But other times I get helpful suggestions that actually make their way into the products I create. Many of the features in the Silver Bullet are actually the result of feedback from others including folks like drbill and Benny Grotto. At the end of the day I always have to make something I can believe in, regardless of profitability or marketability. I will say that it's crazy how much of the cost of the product is just in metal - enclosure, faceplate, hardware, transformers. Honestly, that's a good portion of the cost to build the product before you even put a circuit in there and have it do something. So the reality is that even if I stripped the Mic Modes it's not going to be a huge cost decrease. Consider that a freebie bonus feature. Brad

Wiz, sorry for the delay in getting to this. I worked on the mix and laid down some Hammond today. I'm working on a solo. I'm also going to had a harmony on the chorus. I should have something later this week.

I think I may have even gone back to a version with brushes playing the drums... 8) If you want that version to play with let me know. Same tempo, same everything else, I just had a version that had different drums on it.... cheers Wiz

The harmonies sound way too loud on Soundcloud for some reason. I didn't mean to overpower Wiz.

Is everyone using the same tracks?.

braddwww.wetransfer.comPrint the file out of your mix and export, then go to wetransfer.com and send the full fidelity of file to whomever via wetransfer email. It's free and you can send up to 2gb, so even sending a 4-5 24-96k master is a breeze! Coukd try the invasive google drive but then you have to link people to it so IDK.

If anyone would like the Hammond and backing vocals, send me a message with your email and I will email them to you with Wetransfer. Thanks.

bradd did a superb job on keys and bv. I heard that organ and pushed it well forward. love the tone.
your voice is like butter wiz . so nice. I may ditch some plugs once in the studio. time will tell. if anything it will get warmer and louder.
