SixString Mix
#7
What i did? I Stumbled and fumbled Wink First off, i liked the feel of the song even if it's a bit off tempo wise.

I mix only on computer on this, Logic Pro 9 Waves and UAD-1 plugs. Waves SSL-Channel on almost every channel since i like the sound and i have gotten some kind of used to them, and i also prefer to mix with my ears and not my eyes as i tend to do if i use a graphic eq. I'm not saying that my ears are any good at it Wink

I struggled a bit with the kick until i found the sound i was looking for in the room track, on the kick i use SSL-channel, low cut at 50 Hz and a slight boost at 80 Hz, a little gate. I also use the 1176LN comp to get some punch and control of the signal. Here i don't want to much klick, only as much to hear it in the mix without boosting the level to much.

Same setup on the snare, a little boost at 300 Hz and quite a cut at 450 Hz a little boost at 1.7 and 8 Khz. Some RVerb plate.

Same setup on the toms, gated a bit and boosted top and bottom in them. 1176LN comp.

Overhead SSL again a slight boost at 80Hz 3 and 8 Khz, a tiny bit comp from the SSL. Panned -53/+53

On the Drum room i only used the 1176LN comp and squeezed it together with quite fast attack and release.

Bass-Di i inserted an amp sim from wabes GTR and again the 1176LN comp

On the acoustics i used the SSL-Chan and waves Q8 eq since i heard some annoying (to me) sounds. I cut hard and narrow at 160Hz since i heard/felt some rumbling in the left acoustic.
The right i used the same approach since i heard the same in a open chord loose string 440Hz.
Panned -27/+27

E-guitar, SSL Channel again Smile Waves GTR and a delay stomp. Panned Center

Piano, do need the spell it? Wink SSL slightly boosted from 800Hz and up...kinda..and some reverb, Waves Rverb, high passed at 300Hz and cut above 4K. Panned -23/+23

Vox Female/Male DeEsser, SSL and UAD LA-2A comp. Panned-5/+5 some automation. Some vocalplate verb DeEssed and lowcut.

On the Master bus i use Logic's Multipressor and Waves L3.

I was looking for something separated and not muffled and struggling, lacking other words Smile
Kinda thinking of Sting (Mercury falling) even though i don't have the skills to take it there. Smile
