My first mix here - audio2u - 05-02-2018
Hi all,
Just found the site, and love the concept.
This is my first mix here.
Thoughts on the track...
Good easy-going pop/rock track. Probably more guitars than it needed, but I used 'em all anyway.
Kept the drums fairly dry.
Coloured the bass a little bit as I felt the amp version was maybe just a bit too 'warm'.
Lead vocal 1 got some eq, compression and exciter (via Neutron).
The rap vocal I thinned out quite a bit, plus added a bit of a delay.
Backing vocals also got Neutron, thinned out and compressed hard so they sat in their place.
Master buss got a very light dose of some CLA3A compression, a hint of Ozone Exciter, and a touch of L1+ Ultramaximizer to bring the level up so I got -14 LUFS average across the song. That's how I would deliver it if it was going to a mastering house.
Keen to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
Bruce.
