Schoolboy Fascination A Sonic Puzzle

[Faders_up]

Ver.1-Lots of tracks, choices and cleanup. Fun arrangement to mix.

Vers.2-Mix bus and tape emulation.

Vers.3- 2018 With updated plugins.

[Dangerous]

Yes it's subtle, but it has added a little roundness and fullness in a nice way. Definitely worth having them in the chain.

Mix Bus A/B_ Schoolboy Fascination
I mixed this song a while back before I used mix bus and tape machine emulation plugins. I added the plugins to the same mix and matched the levels to do a blind A/B test. The mixes don't have any mastering plugins. The virtual tape machine and virtual mix bus added a subtle difference which seemed pleasing to my ear. It may be less noticeable between mp3 files, but after quite a few listens I like what the emulation plugins are doing. What plugins do you like on your mix bus?

I was listening to this mix I did a while back an noticed it was missing a small but important keyboard part. I fixed it and feel better now

Hi Up,

Great job you did, very pleasant mix, I think you also fixed the over sparkling in the upper high end in your latest mix if I'm right?

An original mix where I immediately feel comfortable, pro at least, great great great job you did dude.

Cheers,
Luc

Version 3 revisiting this mix from a while back. The updated plugins sound a little more open and clear up the middle a bit.

[Mammy]

your mix is mono and dry.

[Faders_up]

your mix is mono and dry.

Thanks for the listen Mammy? This a an older mix. It is a dry mix and maybe a little bright, but mono? Curious what you're listening on. There's quite a bit of stereo information in there. I'll give yours a listen for your point of reference.
