My mix

[kappe307]

this is my mix for the song Transcention
any comment is welcome!

Every mix I've heard of this so far, including my own, has had me picturing computers in one way or another. On this one, with the wide open airy reverb you used on the "beep" synth track, I had a picture of a huge server room, with banks upon banks of computers covered in blinking lights connected together with a spaghetti factory of colorful cables, the camera weaving in and out among this mass of technology...

For the most part, I really love the sound you have going here, not dissimilar from my own approach. Only two quibbles:

1. I felt your kick drum was a little on the thin side; did you roll off its low frequencies with EQ or a hipass? If so I wouldn't; it has a wonderful "thump" just the way it is.
2. The drums didn't sound like they had any reverb at all. When combined with the pronounced reverb you applied on many of the other tracks the dry drums sound "disconnected" from the rest of the mix. Maybe you might try applying a subtle reverb to the drums as well? Something that implies a live environment.

Other than that, loved it!

Hi Pedalin Prince,
Thanks for the comment! I like the "spaghetti factory" (I'm italian).
I cannot open the project now. I remember I doubled the kk track and compress it very hard. Most likely there is a LPF in the eq on the master buss, but I dont think the kick is thin. In my monitor systems and check systems it sounds full and punchy to me. But maybe it can be a matter of taste! There is less ambient in the drums but this helps the drums to stay in front and to stand out from the rest of the song in my opinion.
Anyway thanks for your suggestions!

Ciao,

\<.
