Pray For The Rain Mix and Master 2018 (Studio One) - jentevdwater - 19-08-2018

Hello everyone,

This is my take on this beautiful and well recorded song!

Would love to hear your opinion!

Edit: Added some more clarity and scooped out more bass/mid range

Kind regards,
Jente

Hi Jente,

I think you got a good start with you first version. To me, the low mid scooping of the second one had an adverse effect on the guitars and especially the snare. It's almost like a hip hop mix with the bright highs and super deep bass.

I do like the "wetter" aspect to the second version, and the vocals sound less telephonic (if that's a word).

Thanks for your feedback, do agree with that for sure.

Hi Jente

Thanks for mixing our track. I tend to agree with theNeverScene in that I lean to the balance of v1, but I prefer the aesthetic of v2 with more reverb/delays. As I listen through:
- I think the intro guitar could benefit from a 4-5 kHZ cut. It's a bit tougher to listen to at a higher volume.
- at the chorus, the left guitar seems brighter than the right. Pulls it left to my ear.
- the ping of the ride cymbal was distracting me a little - consider a bit of attack removal with a transient designer

Thanks for sharing !

Tom
