"Howlin'" C&C Welcome! - Phil_The_Rodent - 15-03-2016
I've decided I to try and mix a track a week. Here's week 3. (Week 2 is here: http://discussion.cambridge-mt.com/showthread.php?tid=14294).
I found this fun and interesting. I guess the thing I've been struggling most with is space inside the mix, so this track is a perfect project. Everything I've read says "back off on reverb until you can barely hear it and then back it off a few dB more". So everything I've been mixing up 'till now has had no reverb as a result!
This changes. I certainly don't want to overdo it, but after some analysis of professional tracks, there's plenty more reverb they're using than I've been.
Hopefully this is closer to the ballpark. I had fun with this -- lots of moving pieces, and I laughed at the DogFX track. I brought it down 2 octaves to mix and then brought it back up, so it should be balanced well for your pets to enjoy.
C&C Welcome!

Too much of everything for my ears. You sort of went to some trance side. But overall a good mix. Maybe just cleaner EQ on vocals. And a little less of that buzzing sound.
All in all I LIKE IT!
