The Brew - What i Want - Mix and Master - Xabidoowah - 25-05-2017
Being back here, i post an old mix and master of this beautiful song !
Here to share and listen to constructive critics, eventhough i won't tweak this piece of music again, as it's been a while i did it
Always open to discuss about what, where, when, why, how ! I do remember how i did it !
Greetings from Paris

Sounds good. I really like the dynamics. I think the stereo image could be a little more balanced. I don't mind the piano hard panned right but it feels like there should be something on the left to even things out. The vocal could be a little bigger. It's a little bright and slightly harsh in the upper mids. If those could be tamed a little bit then the vocals could come forward more and compete with the rest of the band. The vocal level is good, maybe even a little loud, but the rest of the band feels huge in comparison. Maybe an effect like reverb or stereo delay would give it some more girth.
I like the effects. Subtle but effective.
Overall it sounds great.
Good job

Thanks Roy !
Yeah, you're totally right about the harsh in the upper mids ! I discover it now, as i changed my monitoring chain since. Vocal level is something very specific to culture, here in France, don't know why, we tend to mix vocals upfront, seems i did it this way
Appreciate the comments anyway, constructive and precise !
