Nerve9_ Pray For The Rain - Patsculle - 25-02-2018
Okay!
Made a mix of this song that I think is a nice and cozy Power Ballad with a beautiful voice on the singer.
One big problem for me was that I had difficulty balancing the drums and getting that big power ballad sound so I've replaced everything except toms.
Otherwise, it's just mixed with Slate and Waves plugins.
And unfortunately I did not read about Mix Rescue before I went on mixing this song.
Forgive me Mike Senior.
Made tree new mixes
Mix No. 2: On this I have pushed up the guitar a little more
Mix No. 3: On this I have less reverb and delay
I hope you like it.

Hi Patsculle - thanks for mixing the track. Overall, good balance and sounds like a mix ! My comments are taste related, so please take with that grain of salt. There is a lot of chorus on the lead vocal. Consider dialing that back a bit, and perhaps using it more selectively to add interest/impact. More minor point, but there were a few vocal phrases though could benefit from a little automation to bring them out - they got a little buried. The samples sound a bit like samples (especially the kick) - perhaps consider a bit more of a blend with the live drums. They sound great in the mix, but they do sound a bit canned.
Thanks again !
Tom

Thank you Tom for listening to my mix.
I hear what you say and what you hear may be because I have a doubler on vocal.
Made a new mix where I use Toontrack Superior 3 and have new eq on guitar, and added a compressor to the end mix.
Hope this sounds better.
If not, please say maybe I can do it better.
Best regards
Patsculle
