Jessica Childress "Slow Down"TC Mix

[TChianit]

I'm feeling way to good about my mix. Maybe I should be humbled? Great tracks. I want the lead singer to have my children she is so amazing. If not that then I'll adopt the whole band!

In all honesty even though the tracks bleed a lot they sound incredible.

I wanted the mix to pop. Hopefully it doesn't pop too much or sound too compressed. I used very gentle compression after the EQ with which I aimed for harder sounding sounds, so really no compression on the main stereo buss.

Thanks for the listen and any comments.

Hi!

Good overall balance!
In my opinion the snare/toms has too much smack/pop ( back-down transients?). I also miss low end (more 100Hz in bass?), this makes the mix sometimes a bit harsh on the highs.

Cheers!

Truth be told, I figured by over-emphasizing the impact of most of the sounds I was going to loose bottom. But I made my bed.....

I did a lot of experimenting with this track because I liked it so much.
I will revisit the mix after a little break and try to keep some of the impacts but get me that there big bottom solid and tight the way it should be.
Still, not bad for just a little over four hours to mix and do all the transfers from comp to analog board to Audient mic pres' then into a mini-me and then into my DAT back into the computer into Harrison's MixBuss DAW and any more and I will fall down.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment.
Hope to return the favor if you have a mix of this song up.

I agree with ERJEE about the snare especially, it's too biting.
Other than that, I quite like the ambience, the vocals sounds like it's sitting well with the rest of the band and bgvs in particular.

drums sound strange to me....a bit like hitting beach balls....especially noticeable around 0'25s...not sure if this is EQ or compression or both.

I think the other elements in the mix sound ok,and at times there is a nice groove going, but with the drums slightly awol its difficult to tell for sure
