All The Same - Mix by Marcel S.

[marcelsemelka]

Hi guys,
here is another mix I have done over the last 2 days.
Feel free to check the other ones out, too Wink

I scrolled through the pages of the mixing additions to find a (potential) powerfull rock-kinda song and I stumbled upon this one...

Man those vocals where dynamic. Really needed all of vst inserts in Cubase to get control over them. In the end I really like them !

Drums sounded nice, didn't felt to be replaced, only a little love, EQed the Kick to get more transients, made the snare really present in the mix and in the end parallel compressed them.

During the verse I kept the song very dynamic (lots of automation) and the chorous was pushed to as loud (but not distorted at the same time) as possible. I like the dynamic that I got between verse and chorous.

What I did in a list:
- Some basic EQs on the stems to clean up (Low/Hi Cuts etc.)
- Basic volume and panorama mixing (lots of automation to keep the song dynamic)
- (Parallel)Compressed the drums
- Added a little room to the vocals to mix them better in, De-Essed them and compressed them pretty hard

All done in Cubase in approx 2-4 hrs (1-2 hrs a day)

I really would like to get some comments from you guys and/or (constructive) criticism.

Regards,
Marcel
