What I Want - Master 2 - Mixinthecloud - 13-06-2015 After a few remixes on speakers from Dell desktops to Barefoot MM27s, this is my latest offering. I've heard a lot of different speaker systems and I am totally convinced that Barefoot has broken new ground in the monitoring field. These speakers are the truth. This mix was started on PreSonus Studio One 2 Pro and finished on the new Studio One 3. I am just beginning to tap the depths of Studio One and I am finding it the most intuitive DAW. I have had some contact with ProTools and find it to be counter-intuitive (meaning written for its own purposes instead of an extension of legacy audio production processes). I do not have any control surface other than my desktop interface yet. I would very much like to find out how Studio One behaves with a good controller. Any suggestions would be welcome. Anyway, here is my offering of this great song. PS: I wish there was more discretion with the keyboard tracks in the original recordings. 1/24/2016 What I Want.mp3: This latest mix was done post integration of new Yamaha HS5 monitors. This represents a significant improvement in the quality of my mixes (I think...). I guess others will be the arbiter of that. this is a very thick mix based on the content of the song and I have done my best at taking a good musical approach to it. I hope you enjoy it and will leave your always valuable comments. February 2017 The Brew - What I Want - Feb 2017.mp3: I've been mastering in a new space with big speakers and this is a result. As always, comments are appreciated. RE: What I Want - Master 2 - PeterEkberg - 10-07-2015 Sounds cool, just curious, what effect did you use on the backg vocals ? RE: What I Want - Master 2 - Mixinthecloud - 10-07-2015 Just a flanger. I had listened to a lot of user's mixes and everyone did something to those. I also panned them hard left, hard right, then center as they were in a three phrase figure. RE: What I Want - Master 2 - Andreas Tyranopoulos - 23-09-2016 Lol too many effects here in both mixes! It is not my taste to put so many obvious effects but I really love that you experiment with your sound! That is creation! Thumbs up!

Not knowing what you're referencing for style, I may be completely off on the comments, but: The lead vocal seems quite thin. EQ is part of this, but maybe that it wants some ambiance, or stereo widening/chorusing treatment also, to fill out the center better. The instruments don't balance well across the soundstage. Although each individual has interesting processing, the front/back depth is very different between sides, and each sounds like discrete instruments, in separate spaces, rather than blending into a coherent whole. Overall levels are well matched, all good there. A bit more subtlety on the FX may also give the spot FX more impact. They are noticed at first, but then become a little repetitive. A little more automation would do the trick there. |
