Christmas Blues - AZ Mix
#9
Okay, I think I've got it fixed. I readjusted the compression and EQ settings and dropped the level a bit more so it's more felt than heard. To me, this tune doesn't want a lot of thud but adding in click isn't working either. I usually send the entire drum kit to the reverb unit, and then roll off ~250Hz on the return just to avoid adding mud, specifically to get reverb off the high frequency info on the kick because kicks reverberate too. I mean, it's a drum. That's what it DOES... This one, though, doesn't allow for a great deal of artificial reverb because there's so much already on the various tracks. Anyway, I think it's sitting well enough now.

Also adjusted the compression on the lead vocal (this is another one where you take off so much that you're afraid you're overdoing it and it still isn't quite enough) and added in some automation to back it off just a hair when the backing vocals come in.

When I listened to the rough mix, this sounded like it was going to be a relatively quick thing I could bang out in a few hours. Just goes to show that you can't always judge right off and don't overlook the small things.
