Hi!

I liked this one very much! This is my mix - what do you think?

Hey Neils,

overall i like the tone of your mix and the balances seem good too. I think you could improve the lead vocals by removing some (more) of the resonance and plosives around 100-200 hz.....its a bit muddy down there at the moment, mainly in the verses when she sings in the her lower register.

cheers, Simon

Thanks for your feedback Simon, I appreciate it!
You call it muddy, I called it warmth :D Actually I intentionally boosted that range a bit, but I guess you're right and less could be more. I will get back to this and post a second version, soon. Thank you - interesting!

I found that the M81 vocal mics have a great deal of proximity effect to them and need a lot of hi-pass filtering. The proximity effect, especially in live performance is valued because it increase gain before feedback because of the need to roll-off the lows on the sources such as vocals, hence reducing feedback.
