Good evening guys. I've been busy with school the last weeks, so haven't gotten to do any mixing. But today I took my mix of What Is This Thing Called Love to one of my professors at school, and we had a two hour mixing session, where this is the end result.
Needless to say, the prof knows his shit, so to speak, and we managed to get this mix together which I think is a huge improvement. Basically we did very little, and I mean very little. Just some EQ on the overheads, bass and piano, and then a nice plate reverb.
What I mostly learned is how important a good listening environment is! My previous mix sounded horrible (ok not horrible, but you know what I mean) on proper calibrated big speakers. And back home on my speakers I can barely distinguish between the two mixes.
