James May Hold On You Mix

[DaveDaG]

Hi James and everyone,

James: Thanks for letting us mix your song, it is really nice of you.

I really enjoyed mixing this song. I did a couple of things that I hope sound good.

The first thing I did was Parallel Compress the Drums except for the kick. I also triggered the kick drum using Slate Trigger.

I double the vocals and ran a plugin by sound toys called Little Alter Boy. I think it gives the vocals a cool effect. Other than that I just eq'd compressed gently and doubled a couple of things. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Jason

Ok, nice take on this, I like your creative approach and fx
I think you could go further: at 0,45 you could open up the mix on the stereo field, overheads and gtrs also, then in the 2nd verse you could come back to the closer perspective and open again on chorus

now vocals sounds good, but a bit unglued

I love "weird" mix, but you have to "justify" the choices
imo
