...he hears the mix of "I Don't Know Why" as not being 'done'. He feels it doesn't sound like it's all in the same room.
Hmmm...I heard that for a second when I was listening in phones before I posted it, but I thought I was going crazy. Good ear Simon!
Now that I go back, I don't know how much I care. It does sound pretty great. I was listening and comparing to Isaac Hayes stuff from itunes (that's my model for this tune - and ya gotta revere the masters!), and I can hear Isaac puts more reverb in the higher instruments, so jangley guitars tend to be pretty wet, but he's more austere with say the drums. I think I'll try that.
Point taken.
The thing is, Simon said "the recording strikes me as being at a "demo" level, somehow". OUCH!!! He was never much for pulling a punch.
I DON'T DO DEMOS! Them's fightin' words where I come from!
Fortunately, I think we are talking about small increments at this point...
I know so much more about mixing orchestral music......

It's a good thing you musicians don't use jargon. "Wet"?
Oh...yeah,
The sound of a room applied to individual instruments is called reverb. A recording with a lot of reverb is said to be "wet" and one with very little room sound is said to be "dry".
Thanks for bringing me back to earth!

Hey, hey, brother, I wasn't looking to pick no fight. Sorry about that!
Anyway, I find the remix much better.
