    Default "World Class" sound

    I can't figure out what is missing in the recording chain or what needs to be added to make a World Class sound happen.

    It stared out a little brittle so we mixed it to a 2 track to warm it up then recorded back to digital-DAD.

    Now its warm but just doesn't have that sheen like I hear on todays recordings.

    What is the secret?!?!

    I think you need to contact a mastering guy, most mastering guys will do samples, atleast one tune, Try it out, and compare to what you got, thats probally the ticket

    If you don't have it, hire someone who does. Producers have to eat too.

    I kinda liked this little melody and the use of the instruments.. There seems to be a bit of squarewave type of distortion here and there like you had the faders up a bit too much on a digital mixdown. Theres not a lot of dimension though, this could be the missing part you're asking about. It needs some air to give everything space and life and therefore size and THIS is what those 'real pro recordings' all have.
