Yoda's Mix - Yoda.Earth - 15-03-2020 Hi, this is my first try in this forum. What do you think? EBU R128 measurements: INT -12.6 LUFS / LRA 9.7 LU / TP -1.0 dB I aimed at an open sounding mix, whatever that means :-) Thanks for your comments! RE: Yoda's Mix - Eastwood - 20-03-2020 Hi Yoda.Earth, welcome to the forum! Just a couple things: Your bass guitar has too much information in the 20hz - 50hz area I think, and the kick drum is not cutting through the mix. I would try increasing the kick drum volume a bit and take it from there, maybe some eq. Overall sounding good!

I did a new version, not sure if I overdid it, since I'm on headphones. I can hear the difference, just don't know how it translates to (big) speakers. hi-pass on the bass guitar, peaking filter on the base drum. What do you think? RE: Yoda's Mix - Eastwood - 20-03-2020 Kick drum sounding good! I think you might be able to raise the volume on the bass guitar a few dB, it’s a bit too quiet. The kit sounds really rockin now though! I would just make the snare a few dB quieter and I think you’ll be there. Edit: I’m not 100% on the bass/snare volume adjustments, it sounds better on a second listen but those were my first impressions. RE: Yoda's Mix - Devilskater666 - 21-03-2020 Hi Yoda, I've not mixed this one myself so I don't know about the challenges of this song but after a first listen I agree with Eastwood: Raise the Bass a bit and lower the Snare and you have a very nice mix! One question though: Why the EBU R128 measurement? Isn't that relevant for TV content only? Cheers, Andi RE: Yoda's Mix - Yoda.Earth - 25-03-2020 New mix, with bass up 2dB and Snare down 2 dB :-) Thank you Devilskater666 and Eastwood for your advice and encouragement! The EBU R128 now reads: INT -12.3 LUFS and LRA 9.9 LU at -1.0dB TP I use the EBU R128 because it is integrating over the whole song. So it gives you an idea of overall loudness. It might get used a lot for TV. However, I'm not aware of any standard that applies to music only. Is there one? I'd be very interested to learn about it. For my own mixes, a loudness range of 9.9 is pretty darn good, but the song is arranged so that it has quieter sections at the beginning and end ... :-) I always aim at a high range, since I hate those overcompressed songs on pop radio. On the other hand, it's rock'n roll! These two forces make the struggle in mixing a song for me. ;-) |
