Soothsayer (V7) – E flat

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.

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:
