Two versions of Punk's Funk

NickD · 12-20-2005, 09:02 PM

OK, I am in the process of choosing a mastering house for my Cd project. I have just uploaded two new versions of Punk's Funk to my Mp3unsigned.com site. One is just a raw stereo mix that I submitted to the house and the other is the mastered version (with EQ, compression, limiting, all applied). I am not telling which version is which. I sincerely want your opinions as to which one sounds better overall.

Now, this track has been the most challenging to re-mix, but I the product is now the way I want it, from that point of view. The Mastering job, however, is what I am seeking ideas on. This track is old school jazz funk fusion as opposed to straight ahead swing. If you feel that this style of music is so far from what you listen to as to not allow you to simply compare the two, that's cool! You should probably skip it. I am looking for honest comparions of the mastering - NOT reviews of the tunes.

I'm attaching a poll. Let's see what happens.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here are the two links.

Punk's Funk - VERSION A
http://www.mp3unsigned.com/showmp3.a...=25975&aid=633

Punk's Funk - VERSION B
http://www.mp3unsigned.com/Showmp3.a...=25976&aid=633

PLEASE NOTE: I had to make MP3's of the tracks to post them. The compression may cloud the differences a bit, but I think you can still spot it.

Peace!

Hi NICKY_D!
I really like brand A personaly, i found it to be much smoother.
And more confident, your solo was much more tacking and more fu-ke foo!

Nick,
Version A.

wilcox96 · 12-21-2005, 11:49 AM

Version A has a much smoother, even quality to it. Edges taken off... a little more evenly balanced. (do I detect some effects not on the B version?)

All in all, more pleasing. Good luck with the project.

Hey Mr.Wilcox.
How you doin'?

wilcox96 · 12-21-2005, 11:58 AM

Warmer than you! hahaha.

Gotta love the South...

Santa's comin'.... (isn't that around the week of Jan 2nd? hahaha.. Santa Felix??).....

NYTC · 12-21-2005, 12:49 PM

yeap,Santa is coming.
I heard you had a conversation with Mr.Kato.
He is coming to visit me on the 10th of January.
Want to stop by?

Hey Nick!

B

I agree with Clarence, A is smoother.

BUT I like B better. It has more of an "in your face" feel to it all the way through that I like in the funk stuff.

Good work on both.
