Tears in the Rain
#1
Went for big dynamics... as a guitarist this was a very fun project for me, although the comb filtering on the acoustic guitars was very frustrating to tackle Big Grin

this is one of the best mixes I've heard from you Pauli. Maybe it's the fact that you're also a guitarist, has made you work on this one with more "love".

The drums entrance sounds terrific! and so does the ambience and panning of the instruments. Good work!
mixing since April 2013

Really nice, Pauli. The acoustics sound great. It's probably a matter of personal taste, but the Nylon guitar is a little dry for me.
To mix or not to mix ... mix!

Thank you, what a nice thing to say Smile this one caught my attention right away because the electric guitars and the nylon stringed acoustic have such beautiful, warm tone. I wonder if maybe I could have turned up the reverb returns a bit, though.

Thanks Smile I agree, the nylon is too dry. There is a short, quiet delay, and it's running through the two main reverb returns (one for ambiance and one for roominess)... how would you go about it? Should I turn up the delay send, the reverb sends, or do you think it needs it's own dedicated reverb send? I was wondering about maybe sending the delay to a gated reverb?

For starters maybe try turning up the delay send.

I think this sounds a lot better. Turning up the delay all by itself overemphasized the transients, so I added a little reverb to the send to soften it up a bit.

Nice job bringing out the string plucking on the acoustic ,the bass and kick could be a touch upfront Big Grin !

Yes, I think you're right about the kick and bass... both are too punchy. I'm thinking about revising this one and giving it a bit more room sound and the mix as a whole is a little too strong in the upper mids.
