Hey guys,
this is my mix of Secretariat: 'Over The Top'.
I wanted a drum sound with lots of ambience but still enough smack. Lots of compression and saturation gave me the sound i was looking for. It might be a bit much though...
As for the guitars. I wanted darker, low-mid beefy guitars. Boosted 500Hz quite a bit. Normally a "boxy" frequency but it worked here.
Vocals on the other hand sat in the high-end of the freq sepctrum. (5db high-shelf). And a ton of compression on the vocal, mainly to even out the chages in volume. (Yay, parallel compression)
Bass a bit of tape, eq, and comp. Not much.
Hammond, just eq and chorus.
BG vocals with a doubler and compression.
Thats it.
Overall I think the mix might be to compressed and it should breath more. Please leave feedback.
Cheers,
Lukas
