Sugar - Faith by Forkupines - axxessdenied - 09-06-2019
Hey! Haven't taken a crack at a mix in a bit so I thought I would give it a go.
Have to get back to work so here's what I have for now.
Mostly just broad strokes at the moment. Didn't realize how long this song is until I exported it, lmao.
I didn't like the snare at all and am used Superior Drummer 3.0 instead. Guitar tones are all the amped up ones. I didn't get around to the toms yet and there is no automation yet.

Mix 2 up

Mix 5 up

Guitar tones are awesome.. bass is too loud and drums are very...squashed. I think you over did the limiter there is pumping there.
guitar tones are so good though that's what I struggled with.
RE: Sugar - Faith by Forkupines - axxessdenied - 10-06-2019
Thanks! The guitars just need some of the frequencies cleaned up and then a nice high boost.

Uploaded Mix 2. Redid the drums a bit and adjusted the bass a bit.

hi! listened version 2. like shul said. indeed the drum mics/samples feel like they're ducking the overheads/cymbals a bit too much? maybe separate ohs/cmbls from drum bus? the bass has a kind of 'over solid edm character', maybe ease up on that too? guitars and vocals have great tone. also nice clipping/fast limiting on main mix. great work! ^_^
RE: Sugar - Faith by Forkupines - axxessdenied - 11-06-2019
Thanks! I couldn't quite get the vibe I was after without slamming the limiter hard
Redid the drum bus compression (opted for some parallel compression instead) and redid the bass tone in Mix 3!

Mix 4 up. tinkered with the kick and snare tones and adjusted the low end.

hi! in overall, i think youve been changing your highs into not-so-good direction after version 2. in version 4 it's approaching 'toothache'. maybe some high frequency limiting for main mix or something could be useful? the bass and mids seem to be in good balance. ^_^

Overall I think I'm pretty happy with how it is turning out now. There's still some stuff I want to change up but it takes too long to export this song now lol. I'll save that for another day.(12-06-2019, 07:27 AM)axxessdenied Wrote: Mix 4 up. tinkered with the kick and snare tones and adjusted the low end.

Hi Niko
The only thing is the snare, I don't know if its the reverb, but sounds a little hollow. other than that everything else is sounding good.
Nice Job!
Cheers
