Glorious - Indie Mix (Please critique!) - Busoni - 19-02-2016
Yesterday I did this Mix, because I wanted to do something more minimal and indie sounding!
Here's what I did:
I used all stems except one, where you heard "percussive sounds". I didn't like this one, because it drew the attention away from the notes themselves.
Panned each vocals only stems 100% to left and right. Put a multiband compressor on the left one, where I only compressed the lows. Then I lowered the volume on the left and delayed it a little, leaving the focus on the right hand side. This gives it nice intimate effect.
In the glass tracks I had to use some bands to subtract certain frequencies, which were unpleasant to listen to.
I panned those at about (L) 70 - 30 - 0 - 30 - 70 ® and compressed the higher frequencies with a multiband to take away the sharpness.
Then I put convolution reverbs on them. An audition hall on the glasses, and a washing machine with elongated delay on the vocals.
Eventually, there is an instrumental part in the end. I tried to make it more lively, by automating pan and volume, so I could bring out the harmonically important tones.
tl;dr made an indie mix. Have fun listening! Feel free to critique!
