Neon Hornet: Take it off_DLR

[The_Metallurgist]

So, thnx for very technical analysis, but since English is not my first language, I have to read this few more time to fully understand what you said.

you got the general understanding very well, so well done!

In this case I was just rec/mix ing. not a producer, so I didn't want to get involved in that part. The band was "alfa and omega", so they wanted song to be structured this way, although I would make few changes in arr.

agreed. sometimes though, a band might not be aware of the problem they are creating for the audience.....or even the mixing engineer, especially if they don't understand mixing and the "science of audio".

Vocal is raw recording without any processing, and I didn't use Autotune or any kind of tune plugins in my mix too. It's just the way that singer sings :-)

thanks for this info, it was important for me. i'll go back and have a more detailed listen to the vocal track. i'm not often thrown off course on Autotune artifacts. so i'm wondering perhaps if i was hearing something from the signal chain or the way the mic was set up. could be any number of things, really. i'm now really inquisitive.

again, thanks for the note

Guitars are bit "dark" cause overall feeling of the song, and, on the other hand, if they were brighter it would come up with out of tune caused by playing with lighter (instead of slider) and not so great performance of the player. It could be less muddy though.

it's the L/R panning that's the problem in your mix (bright one side, darker on the other)...but it's the arrangement that suggests this placement. maybe you should have produced it Next time, yeah???

why not Haas the gtrs? it would make a stronger, more powerful presentation in stereo, it would help both ears get to hear each guitar instead of only one in headphones, and it could help towards overcoming the spectral imbalance.

note however, that Haas is going to be more of a problem in mono. personally though, i think Haas makes a better compromise.

Thnx for listening and very detailed comment

you're welcome. keep up the great job.
