What's up guys, I hope all is well with everyone. Here's a WIP of this cool song. I was going for mix that is smooth(less harsh) yet still exciting with a solid low end. I think I spent about 1.5 hours on it. I tried the top down approach again, trying to mix into the busses, and then tweak inserts as needed. I still haven't automated or side chained anything yet, but I figured what the heck, and decided to submit it as is.
Happy Easter!
Quick update: After listening to it again I decided to apply some side chains to clear up the mix a little bit.
Cheers for Bunny Ears!
Update: 4/3/18
Cleaned up some masking and muddiness with some equalization adjustments, and smoothed out some high end harshness.
Update 4/17/2018
Added another version: mix#2
Basically I scooped out some of the frequencies above 100 and below 3-400 of instruments and vocals as needed.
Also eased off of the master limiter.
Cheers!
Update 4/25/2018:
Minor tweaks to make the vocals more clear and bring the drums forward a bit.
Update 5/1/2018
Adjusted EQ settings on the Master and Bus Groups.
Update 5/17/18
I decided to revisit this one again because I wasn't happy with the mix and I wanted to try a different approach, that i might apply to other mixes.
Cheers!
