On the Line - arrangement changes and mix - Quetz - 09-04-2018 Hi there, Thank you James for making this lovely song available for mix practice! Really enjoyed it. I put arrangement changes but it's really just a few little tweaks, but I constructed an intro to show off a little more cello, and also to demonstrate problems I was having with the guitars, which is why the eq moves around for the first few bars I decided early on that the cello was going to take centre-stage as much as possible (love cello!) I used one reverb for all instruments and vocals, the Softube TSAR-1R, and used a UAD EMT 140 for a drum plate. I sent the bass DI signal through an amp-sim then blended with the original. Did the same with the cellos. I revisited the guitars because I made a mess of them first time round, and tried to add back some warmth to the cello. There's parallel compression on the drum bus, and I put Softube Tape on the drum bus as well. Every channel was mixed through Console 1's SSL 4000E strips, and I mixed into the Drawmer S73 on the Mix bus, and slapped a Pultec plug over the mix buss as well. That pretty much covers the breakdown! Would love to hear what you think. Thanks! edit: (updated mp3 10/07/18, in post below!) RE: On the Line - arrangement changes and mix - James May - 16-04-2018 Very creative ideas here. And this mix sounds much better to me than the first one you posed. I really like what you did with the breakdown after the instrumental verse and also the outro. I like the spirit of the intro, but it seems a bit long and might be more effective if you axed bars 5-8 and 13-16. Cool stuff!

Hi James! Thank you so much for commenting I apologise for such a delayed response, I had no idea you'd posted! I agree that the intro could be more concise. I've just been revisiting this song as it's a great learning tool - it's also a great song, which helps Here's a newer version of the mix, after having had some advice and guidance from a pro - it's getting closer to where I want it Hope you enjoy this one too. Thanks James, Quetz RE: On the Line - arrangement changes and mix - KMuzic - 09-07-2018 Hi Quetz Really well assembled mix, very creative. Great Job!
