Chad Hollister Band Eyes - Cudjoe - 13-03-2019 Here is my mix and enjoy. RE: Chad Hollister Band Eyes - Roy - 13-03-2019 Sounds good. The kick might be a little loud and I think the vocal could be more up front. The mandolins get lost. I've found that it's usually getting masked by some other instrument in a lot of mixes. It feels better from the solo on. There seems to be a bit of hiss or noise that becomes apparent at different times. Are you using any Waves plug-ins by any chance? Minor points. Overall though it's pretty solid. RE: Chad Hollister Band Eyes - Cudjoe - 13-03-2019 (13-03-2019, 06:08 PM)RoyMatthews Wrote: Sounds good.

Are you using any Waves plug-ins by any chance?Hi Roy the hiss is coming from soundtoys sie q in the "mastering" and was done deliberately i thought it gave it abit of a roar analog sound, and yeah those mandolins! i wasnt sure where to place them thanks for your comments. RE: Chad Hollister Band Eyes - Roy - 13-03-2019 Fair enough. the noise isn't that big of a deal except that it 'breathes' bit which I think made it more noticeable. And it seems a bit loud at the end fade. The mandolins are tough on this one. I could never make them work. I know I considered just hard panning them and the congas but chickened out and dropped that idea. RE: Chad Hollister Band Eyes - Cudjoe - 13-03-2019 Ok you have convinced me LOL i will do another master and correct the hiss noise,well reduce it at least and i might even tackle those mandolins with automation,thanks again man. RE: Chad Hollister Band Eyes - Cudjoe - 14-03-2019 Mix 2 based on Roys comments yesterday. RE: Chad Hollister Band Eyes - crownoise - 19-03-2019 Hi cudjoe! Nice take on it, different sound for sure. I kinda like the idea with the "phaesyness" but I think its a bit 2 much, it sounds like an effect on the master buss? The highs feel very "un-natural" and lo-fi. Also I would like more of the acoustic guitar because I felt that It was driving the song quite much. The bass sounds killer and also good vs the kick. The mandolin solo is ok but could be a bit more aggressive some how. Good job on the mix its nice , upfront is cool.

RE: Chad Hollister Band Eyes - HbGuitar - 20-03-2019 Hey Cudjoe......Listened to mix 2 ha...oh man, those drums during the verses.....I'm goose necking big time Really like this mix. Great drums and bass really set a solid foundation and i think that you've done a good job building a fine balance on top. Great vocal tone too. Good job Cheers RE: Chad Hollister Band Eyes - Cudjoe - 20-03-2019 Glad you like it HbG thanks for the nice comments. |
