BaumXmedia: 'Dream State' (feat Flora Lin) - Y's Man - 15-11-2021 BaumXmedia: 'Dream State' (feat Flora Lin) quick one, its getting a bit processor hungry RE: BaumXmedia: 'Dream State' (feat Flora Lin) - mikej - 15-11-2021 Hi! Had a quick couple of listens and had some thoughts - I feel that everything seems to be getting in the way of each other a little bit with this mix and as a result the vocal is getting lost. My thinking is that if *everything* is compressed to be punchy and hard hitting, then actually nothing is punchy and hard hitting. For my taste you have got to have a bit more contrast. I'd suggest maybe picking 2 or 3 main elements, then build everything around that. I think you can get quite a bit more of a sense of space and width out of this one maybe? Cheers!

I gave up for now because the amount of eq's is slowing down the cpu too much, so i need to go in and change some for less intensive ones to finish off, i will keep your advice in mind when i return to it RE: BaumXmedia: 'Dream State' (feat Flora Lin) - mikej - 15-11-2021 Only the 3 compressors on the mix bus? I think the main thing for me would be to get a bit more space around the vocal if you can. Are you able to freeze some tracks if the processing is getting a bit heavy? Cheers!

Are you able to freeze some tracks if the processing is getting a bit heavy?lol, i was playing around with the vbc rack and had all of them on, i didnt post this as a serious mix just if its here i will definately go back at some point. With the eq they are mostly q3 about 12 of them and it really isnt necessary just used for speed trying to get a base together easily fixed. Not sure about freezing still learning the software RE: BaumXmedia: 'Dream State' (feat Flora Lin) - mikej - 15-11-2021 I thought the 3 compressors thing sounded a bit Dave Pensado actually! I think it's limiters he stacked up though - each one just knocking off a db or so.

RE: BaumXmedia: 'Dream State' (feat Flora Lin) - mikej - 16-11-2021 Hi! Much much better! Really good! Interestingly I did give the first mix a listen on earbuds earlier and the vocal sounded a bit better on those to me. The earbuds I've got have quite a bit of high end rolloff, so it might have been more the high freqs of the synths, etc that were clashing a bit with the vocal. Cheers!
