My humble approach to Changing Things, Newly and Nicely Refined

[Mixinthecloud]

Hey man,

cool stuff. It's interesting to hear 3 different versions and the progression of the mixes. I like different things about each of them, but ultimately mix 2 is a good deal better than the other 2.

I feel like (especially in mix 3) the top end is a little hyped with the midrange feeling a little pinched. what kind of eq do you have going on on the 2 bus? The hi hat mic is also pretty loud for my taste, which really adds to the brightness of the drums.

The sense of space is really nice though (again my preference is mix 2)

Hope you're well,

Ben

Hi Ben,
Thanks for the input. I did brighten things up some in Mix 3 using the Marvel GEQ, a 16 band, time coherent, multiplexing EQ in Mid-Side mode. As the only effect on the mix was an in-line convolution reverb I wanted to enhance the room a bit with some sparkle. I was hoping it would be more subtle, but it may be too much.
