Fairytale - HB Mix - HbGuitar - 28-09-2014
My mix
RE: Fairytale - HB Mix - pauli - 28-09-2014
This is very nice, hb. The guitars sound great and the vocal sits very nicely. To be honest, I'm having a devil if a time with this song... It doesn't seem to want to do what I tell it to do... So I'm quite impressed.
I think the drum sound might be a little weak and tonally thin, but I'm not sure if that can be helped, because there seems to be a fair bit of phasey room sound on the snare mic. I think the song may have been recorded in a smallish, very live sounding room, which is always tricky for me, but you've performed splendidly as per usual. A very nice, well balanced mix.

Hey buddy, thanks for dropping by. Thanks for your feedback.
Re drums, my current thing is "au natural"...well not totally...there is a bit of saturation, smidge of EQ on the bottom end and 2 db compression on drum buss to tie 'em together....but I'm consciously leaving things alone unless i absolutely have to....and then really only to enhance and stabilize rather than change outright....you've heard enough of my over-compressed mush of the past to know i was often over eager with processing
Cheers

If it helps I found the snare to be a bit out of phase with the overheads. A teeny timing adjustment helps.

You're spot-on....i didn't check that....and i should have....
RE: Fairytale - HB Mix - pauli - 28-09-2014
Always a good idea to check phase on the overheads
I'm not sure about the phase on the room track, but I'm also not sure I even want to use it...
