I am Cassettes Believe - PortalSound - 14-06-2018
Greetings,
It has been awhile since I last posted here. Been pretty busy finishing my new Studio and adjusting to the new place and monitors.
Went back and took a new look at this tune.
Hope you like it.
Mike

Hello here are my observations.
*vocals have way too much de-esser on them.
*second instrumental section solo is very loud in comparison with everything else.
*did you use a snare sample? I don't remember if I used one in mine but here in this mix the snare sounds very compressed and it lacks that good smack on it.
*in the outro I would have liked for the strings to surface more. It's quite a beautiful arrangement on them it compliments the song well.
Hope this helps. Keep it up.

Shul,
Thanks for the tips.
*I edit instead of de-ess. usually do radical first and add back to suit customer. In this case left it radical. Don't know why.
* Just solo guitar and acoustic here. Didn't want to lose momentum by lowering level too much.
* yep snare sample. Cut a little smack to fit a little with the orchestra.
* Outro strings or guitars. Picked guitars. Had to choose thruout.
