I agree on the 4k issue.. I didn't do anything in this area with guitars and also those vocals are a lil bit harsh sounding. I'm gonna fix that and the essing too... it's too prominent and it's giving problems.
I think your eq decision would be good but only if subtle. The top end of my mix has a lot of cymbals harshness I couldn't control well so boosting the top end that much sound a lil bit funny imo. As for the 200hz area I believe the bass lost some body there.
Having said that thanks for taking your time and actually analyzing my mix. I've done a lot of that on several people's mixes and I always learn a thing or two.
Hey Mate,
This was only intended to be a guidance as apposed to a fix. Anyone who thinks that they can apply this sort of eq globally to a mix is kidding themselves. Listening with my monitors today I can hear that I have well and truly over shot the mark and really this sort of demonstration with this amount of processing was never going to work. My bad!
That been said I stand by my initial thoughts tonally and my old AE22s confirm it. I'm hearing some build up resonances around the 100hz mark and alot of harshness around the 4k area. Just thought, especially while you were mixing on cans you would like to know this. You are great at what you do Shul, and you certainly don't need any advise on mixing and this mix stands for itself. Comments here confirm this.
If there is any offence with the earlier post I'm happy for you to remove it. It seems to be so easy to upset people these these days!
Anyways, You help a lot of people on this site Shul, so I'm just trying to repay the favor. A fan of your work.
