Actions - Devil Words mix
#1
Hey guys, first attempt at one of these from the multitrack library

I'm ok with the levels of it all (on some speakers at least), it seems to be missing a bit of the punch of other mixes that I've heard on here though

Anyway, let me know anything you dig or that you'd do differently!

EDIT: 2nd mix in 3rd post

Hello Ben

The levels seem pretty good. It's just the eq that I think needs a lil more polishing.

*The bass has some rumbling low freq. that are figthing too much with the rest of the instruments. Especially drums. I would clean up some low freq. from the bass.

*Liked the delays at 1:40 Smile

I would suggest to use a High Pass on everything you can to clean some low end. Also in your reverbs make sure you are high passing too. Low end reverb is very muddy in a mix.

Saludos!! keep it up.

Did a second mix, taking into account your notes

Took a bit of the low out of the bass, as well as hi-pass a lot of the reverbs over the track
Also brought the overheads a bit more forward, it feels like it gives the chorus more impact when it kicks in

Yup. Beautifully improved.

Mix b sounds way better IMO.
I see you also boosted the tom on the right. Or maybe since the bass has less lows I can hear that tom more clear.
Cymbals definitely give more ambiance to drums.

Good job and keep it up.

Thanks, I think the tom is just clearer with the bass out of the way

The only thing I feel a bit underwhelmed with are the guitars, I don't think they're bad but I also don't think they're great. does anyone have any recommendations?
