James May - Don't Let Go

[Olli H]

Olli, you're killing me

I got the same face when my wife asks me to guess what she has in mind and I have no idea

I mix in mono all the time and only when I'm starting to add reverbs at the end is when I turn it to stereo. That's a good trick I learned in order to make your mixes clearer.

This is what I think of your suggestions:

- add 1 dB of tenderness to frequency balance: I think you're talking about the 200 hz area
- try to curve some space for lovin kindness: get some space for those flutes in the song?
- slightly more focus to thoughtfulnes: I give up! I have no idea!! I need more neurons in my brain!

Am I right?

Isn't it funny thing. I have a feeling that if a man asks woman to guess what he has in his mind, woman knows it always.

As I said, I didn't have any specific tricks in my mind. I think you should begin to listen more what your spine tells you. During the mixing process, when you have enough of technical skill, you must stop thinking technically.

Although I didn't try to make any riddles, Voelund got it right, you got it all wrong. Your tried to find technical solution, Voelund listens what moves him in the music.

So try to find what feels good to you in music, and try to make it feel even better in you mix. More you listen your feelings, more they will guide you.

Listen how the inventor of that plugin says "that's lovely" when he adds compression or saturation. He is emotionally connected to the groove. (And I didn't mean that you should buy that plugin, although it's on my wish list.)

I think that I brought up this topic by accident because I'm currently working on it very hard. Intellectual solutions to problems happen too easily for me.

I didn't listen yet your new version, but I will do it.
