James May - Don't Let Go

[Voelund]

thank you, Niels! Yes, I agree that I pay too much attention to the technical issues and it's about time to move on. But I have one question because I want to make sure that I will do it right:

Do you add such things when mastering (my first thought of this) or on different instruments once the technical incompatibilities have been solved during the mixdown process?




... and yes! I feel lucky that I have not only a good friend in Olli, but also in you and in so many over there that take always time to analyze and tell me how to get better

Both I guess, see what I think Olli means is: does this sound to this particular instrument reflect the mood in lyrics and song as a whole ? Take a look at a reply I gave to a mix of Kevin Reeves its about time http://discussion.cambridge-mt.com/showt...p?tid=4717
Those drums, very muffled for one is (to me) an expression of the lyrics lookin back in time, where the choruses are more clear and focused on ahead and what to do.
In this song you could look at all the instruments and try boostin or cuttin and see what emotianal changes the frequency makes. Olli suggest 1dB or so and I agree, its nothin like a nutch, just adjustments.
