Good [...] I had very similar cuts in the mastering EQ for my clarified submission. Paralleling the drum buss is always a song by song decision just as attack and release are. I do tend to avoid choking an instrument unless it serves a creative function in support of the melody or the groove. I tend to allow the artist to show through more so the mixing engineer. It is my job to get out of the way for the most part. At least in a middle of the road country pop piece like this. Maybe I'm not that creative!

I might do completely new version, but I'm quite happy the way it sounds already. About the mud, I think the bass riff here might get easily interpreted as muddy, but for me that's just the bass tone of neck pickup played from upper octave closer to 12th fret. Like the case of JJ Cale - Cocaine when some people say it's a very muddy mix. I'll consider your notes. ^_^ RE: Jamie Kent: 'All-American Mutt' kapu mix - kapu - 08-10-2017 (08-10-2017, 05:16 PM)Mixinthecloud Wrote: I had very similar cuts [...] I usually just try to make things sound the way I would like to hear them. I tried following some philosophies about what the roles are, but eventually I end up doing something that makes the music go under my skin. ^_^ RE: Jamie Kent: 'All-American Mutt' kapu mix - kapu - 09-10-2017 Added new file. Adjusted drum compression and some overall minor tweaks. ^_^ RE: Jamie Kent: 'All-American Mutt' kapu mix - Mixinthecloud - 09-10-2017 (09-10-2017, 02:12 PM)kapu Wrote: Added new file.

If I'm super picky the kick is poking out about 3 dB too much, but I really can't fault anything here, kinda has a Sheepdogs/Americana vibe to it.

Yes, well 4 compressors on the drum bus might have been too much. Took on off. ^_^ RE: Jamie Kent: 'All-American Mutt' kapu mix - kapu - 09-10-2017 (09-10-2017, 04:12 PM)dcp10200 Wrote: The new mix is perfect! [...] Thanks! Perfect mix? I think there are some memes around considering perfect mixes. I tried to go for somekind of Jackson 5 groove meets the Americana type of sound. The kick could probably go down a bit, but on the other hand it has some nice rumbly qualities to it. ^_^ RE: Jamie Kent: 'All-American Mutt' kapu mix - Mixinthecloud - 09-10-2017 (09-10-2017, 05:57 PM)kapu Wrote:(09-10-2017, 04:00 PM)Mixinthecloud Wrote: Yes! Life has crept back in. Gee. Only 4? On the buss, not individual instruments? RE: Jamie Kent: 'All-American Mutt' kapu mix - kapu - 09-10-2017 (09-10-2017, 06:18 PM)Mixinthecloud Wrote: Gee. Only 4? [...] Yep. Only some eq on individual drum tracks. Now parallel and two mild serial comps and tape saturation on the on the drum bus. Individual drum tracks sounded nice for me so not much processing there. |
