A friend of mine was looking through some material on this site and pointed me towards this site. He sent me these files to play with since he knows I want my mixing to improve so here it is.
I sat down for around 60-80 mins just listening, making an adjustment and listening again.
The only trouble I've had with this track is controlling the muddiness between the bass and drums but I feel like the bass and drums should definitely be a driving force in this song. Can't really test it through any/many speakers so it's basically a headphone mix.
I would love some honest advice given if you have time
Thanks folks.
Also, hello everybody. I'm new here!
EDIT: I've no fancy plugins or anything, just ran it through the bog standard stuff in Pro Tools 11. Still finding my way around it and getting my head around the art of the perfect compression for songs. I may have overdone it a little in this song.
Ran the whole mix through a limiter on the master LR bus to bring the volume up a little after mixing. Unsure if the limiting was a little harsh but please include this in your critique.
EDIT: attempt #2 I tried different drum processing to really try to get a big roomy, pushy feel to the drums and bass through new monitors that I'm still unsure of. I would love some feedback on the 2nd attempt! Many thanks.
