    Yet another Soothsayer Backing Track? Yes, sorry! But this is the 7th and in my opinion best version, featuring brand new plugins and production tools! This is also the first backing track I’ve mixed on my Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro headphones using Waves CLA Nx, which recreates the acoustics of Chris Lord-Alge’s Mix LA Studio.

    Song Details:
    🎵 Key: Bb Minor
    ⏱️ Tempo: 74-80 BPM (varies throughout)
    🎸 Tuning: E flat

    From now on, I’ll be uploading both E flat and standard tuning versions of my backing tracks to give you more flexibility for jamming and practice.

    Another request. This one took MUCH longer than expected because finding the right sounds (timpanis etc.) wasn’t that easy. This is the best I can do with the sounds and tools I have available. It’s in standard tuning! I kept the ending a bit shorter…just one timpani crescendo. 🙂

    This is basically “V5” of my mixing journey…trying to improve the old tracks. The next track will probably be a new one. 😉

    Changes (for those who care):

    • better panning of the drums (cymbals and toms)
    • blended in some parallel compression for the drums
    • slighty different processing for kick/snare/toms
    • Softube Tape on every track
    • different “mastering” chain

    Here’s the result:
