Bolz & Knecht: Brahms's 'Hungarian Dance No. 5'

[Stereo Sonic]

Here's my mix

[Stereo Sonic]

Version 1

[lmat]

The balance and stereo placement is good.

The reverb or echo is pretty strange. Sounds like a small room with parallel walls? At 0:30 or so and following, it sounds like the sax is doubled an octave down? And at 0:43 or so, it sounds like he's doubled an octave up? This happens several times throughout the track. Maybe I'm hearing the second harmonic really pronounced? What did you use to monitor while you mixed?

Maybe some heavy compression around 0:52?

What happens at 1:02? Sounds like the right channel dips in sound? Another stereo "event" at 2:19 and 2:39? I'm curious what's going on here.

The reverb sounds better at the end. At the beginning, like I said, it sounds like a tight delay effect, but at the end, it sounds reasonable.

The end sounds very abrupt. With an ending like this, you shouldn't put a fade out until the sound is fairly finished.

What processing did you do?
