Woodfire - Animals (audio2u) - audio2u - 07-02-2018
Hi all,
My thoughts... an interesting track, makes me think 60's psychedelic rock.
What I did.
Gave the drums some acoustic space via a couple of different reverbs (one short, one long).
Some eq and CLA76 compression on kick and snare.
Chucked a touch of J37 tape emulation on the drum buss.
Bit of high shelf cut on the room mic, 'cause I found the room mic signal to be a bit toppy.
Sidechained kick/bass to allow the kick to cut through over the bass (which was a little too-overprocessed in my opinion).
The two guitar parts. I kept the close mic'd channel mono, dead centre. But the distant mic, I rolled off the tops to make it a little darker, then sent it through a delay (30ms left, 40ms right) to widen it, and then mixed it in to taste. This gave the guitar a little bit of stereo width, while still being predominantly centre.
Lead vocal I pretty much left alone. It was obviously tracked with compression, so I didn't add any more. Just rode the fader as best as I could.
Backing vocals (what was actually referred to as LV2) were a little sloppy, timing-wise, so I manually edited those to line them up with the main vocal.
Another touch of J37 across the master, and some peak limiting via L1+ to bring it up to -14 LUFS.
No compression on the master.
And... print it.
Love to hear your thoughts.

Hey audio2u, i think there is missing some low-end ni this mix, the kick really lacks a tiny lowend punch, also the guitars are bit poky in the 3-4.5khz area.

OK, thanks for that! I'll give it another bash....

Hello Audio,
Not enough low end for my taste, need more power
Vocal sound is very nice. Cheers
