The Great Enough: 'Die Young'_mix Tommy M. - tjmtruth - 07-08-2019 This took a bit of massaging to get a good mix. Lots of challenges. Lots of fun!!!! Rock!!!! Tom RE: The Great Enough: 'Die Young'_mix Tommy M. - LightYearRecords11 - 19-08-2019 This is a great mix except the vocals sound raw and lacking balance in the space. I had to do a lot of manual automation them to get them to balance, so its no easy task especially since its a live take and the vocalist went between chewing on the mic to being of axis and a foot back. The drums also seem a bit phasy, especially when the vocals come in due to the bleed into them. Definitely something to work on minimizing with phase inversion and spectral correction.

Can you please advise how you mixed that track.

Next.... - doubling plugin -narrowed the doubling to around 10 and 2 o'clock (I don't like it too wide because to me it sounds unnatural). -harmonic exciter -reverb -high pass filter, rounded cut around 100htz on down -slight high end boost around 16k, slight cut around 3k Next..... -on the interesting parts available during lulls in the vocals, I multed the track (duplicated it), carved out only those parts I wanted to process further and discarded the rest), added distortion and auto panning (narrowed to about 10 and 2 o'clock). -of course reverb used on these multed sections as well. * Note: I used the same reverb on all tracks as sends. I don't normally like to use different reverbs for different instruments and vocals because I think it acts better as a glue and for spacial consistency. I know others use different reverbs for everything and that's cool too....it's all a preference. Also, using one really good quality convolution reverb for everything goes easier on your CPU....lol. Thanks again for asking about this...hope it helps out. Tom RE: The Great Enough: 'Die Young'_mix Tommy M. - Mixinthecloud - 27-08-2019 Tommy, An interesting approach. And some creative solutions. Seems like you used hardly any of the track. That's different. I like just about everything you've done but having an issue with the bottom of the bass guitar. It throbs but not in a great way and gets a little resonant at times. Other than that it is a fun take. |
