Hey all, this is my first mix of a set of stems. I've been doing a lot of reading and taking courses on Lynda and Coursera to learn music production - this is the first practical use of what I've been able to learn over the past few months.
I thought the vocals were quite harsh on this one, so I did a lot to cut a bunch of the original frequencies and did a bit of clip gain to even them out as much as possible. Same with the backups... I also faded in the opening, since the initial tracks cut into the opening transients...
I couldn't get the toms to have as much separation as I would have liked, so that's something else I would work on.
As I'm new to this, I'd appreciate whatever feedback you can provide. I'm gong to listen to some of the other mixes now to see what the others have done...
