Sea of Leaves Mix

[dcp10200]

Hi guys, this is my revised master of this song that is at the bottom of the page. I'm just cleaning up the thread abit to make it easier to navigate. The guitar tracks have some usual Eq and Compression to help them fit into the mix and some rhythmic delay to add some texture to the arrangement. The kick and snare are replaced with samples from EzDrummer 2 ( Kick sample is the 22" Gretch Burgundy Sparkle Kick from the Americana pack, Snare is the Low Tuned Suprophonic from the Classic Pack). After being sampled the drums had some Eq and compression added to taste and some reverb was added. The bass has some eq to add in some bark to the bass and in the choruses I used a bit of parallel distortion to fatten it up when the dynamic of the song changed. Vocals Alternate between a Lo-Fi Vocal in the verses and a clean Hi-Fi vocal in the choruses to add a bit of variety to the song. The whole mix was run through an EMI TG12345 Console emulation via Waves NLS and then compressed using an SSL masterbus compressor emulation. I scooped out 200 Hz with a Pul-Tec eq emulation to open up the low end a little and then did some mastering to tie it all together. I have Included all 3 of my mixes for you to compare, Big thanks goes to fHumble fHingaz for the critiques that lead to the final mix and master (See Master 2.5). Feel free to leave you critiques and comments, enjoy!
