Hurray For The Riff Raff: 'Living In The City' - KMuzic - 04-12-2018
My Mix
Went for the wide soundstage. Used all the original drum tracks, no samples, cut the tom tracks up to get rid of the spill. Used a floating band and a paragraphic EQ, one to reduce and tune the spill and the other to eq the instrument. I think it worked out pretty good.
Comments are always welcome and appreciated.
Cheers

Version 02.mpg
Cleaned up the Kick and Bass. Cleaned up the Tom edits. brought the guitars down and re-EQ'd the vocals and added a different verb and delay combo.
Comments Welcome

Version 02b.mpg. , got rid of 02.mpg replaced it with 02b.mpg, found the harsh cymbal culprit in the BG vocals and corrected it.

What the F with the spam?
Hi K, those delay touches after the solo for the guitars work nice! BGV's work great helping to carry the energy for the choruses, remarkable because of all the bleed they had. Keeping the hat under control is a good idea.
OH's sound cool and with a slightly not so loud snare it'd feel very Ringoish, I'd say. Kickdrum works great for the crescend part with that heartbeat feel, but I might be too boomy for the rest of the track, like it's slowing it down a little.
Vocal feels a little too damped, as if there's a veil over or she was a little constipated. It might be the slap delay being too dark and changing the tone too much, so it could use some LC.
I think I can hear (0:56, 1:37, 2:32) cymbals being cut, likely coming from gating the toms?
¡Buena suerte!

Hi Deliza
Thanks for checking it out and commenting.
ya got me on the tom edits, I got lazy, I need to go back in and cut and fade the toms cleaner and get rid of some excess snare and cymbal hits. I had a heck of a time with the vocal reverb, funny thing was my last move was to go darker with the verb.
Muchas gracias
Cheers

The bass is overpowering and it's pumping. Really good balances apart from that.

Bass is tucked in much better and the pumping is fixed. Thumbsup!

I like version 2 good overall feel...good mix!
RE: Hurray For The Riff Raff: 'Living In The City' - Deliza - 06-12-2018
I dunno, feels like too much of a departure from a good mix that just needed some corrections after translation checking. V1 with less kick-bass and vocals/toms from v2 (plus some any other slight niptucking it might take after those changes) is more what I expected.
Lead vocal and toms feel much better and they alone would instantly elevate v1, but everything else sounds as if played from an old hometape of a bootleg. BGV's muffled, but then they were clear and present before. OH's gone too... Two thumbsup though, so it might be me.
