Voelund: Comfort Lives In Belief

[pauli]

Good job, Stu

There are some very minor issues IMHO, but this sounds much better than your first stab. The bass could be a little stronger, but the bass part on this song was a real turd to mix, so I don't think it's necessary to overwhelm yourself with the nitty gritty technical details if you're a bit new to the art. In my opinion the reverbs are clouding things a little bit again, but it's definitely better. You could try turning down the sends, taking the highpass filter a bit further north on the sends, or shortening the reverb tails. Or all three... go with your gut, it sounds like you have a good ear to me. Give my mix and John's a listen and see if our sounds are working for you, and I'd be happy to share with you how I got a sound if you like it (or if you hate it ), and I'm pretty sure John would be, too... he's very generous with his advice and he also has a different perspective on a lot of things. Voelund is a member of the discussion zone ad I think he could probably give you a few tips, too... I've learned a ton from his advice.

And if this mix is over for you, I completely understand... I've got mad respect for your tenacity/work ethic and every re-mix so far has been a marked improvement, so if you think it's time to move on to the next one (if I were you, I would) just be sure to apply what you learned here. If you're improving with several subsequent attempts, it's better for your learning to move on, and maybe revisit this one in a few months after you've got some more notches under your belt.

IMHO, move on to more mixes... you've done a good job here... as long as you apply what you've taught yourself to the subsequent mixes you'll only keep getting better. Great work, and lots of respect from this guy!
