RE: Adam Buckley: 'Drag Me Down' - OctopusOnFire - 08-11-2018 Hi Kirk, I'll join the crowd and praise the low end of your mix. The punch and clarity of the kick is very satisfying and works really well. The synths have a nice silky character and they sound pleasing and unobtrusive. Great, great job with the guitars. The voice, on the other hand, feels lacking of something. I feel it needs a little more excitement, character, distortion, probably compression/automation. Maybe, and this may be a little odd, a little touch of autotune (as an effect more than correction) could work? I'm not super familiar with the genre but I kinda remember the somewhat exaggerated tuning as part of its signature. Not sure about the lower octave voice, but that's part of the arrangement I guess.

Cheers K RE: Adam Buckley: 'Drag Me Down' - KMuzic - 08-11-2018 New Version 03.mpg Worked on vocals to get to sit right and have a bit more bite. took a lot of the suggestions so could use some comments Cheers K RE: Adam Buckley: 'Drag Me Down' - Fenekucci - 15-11-2018 Phenomenal. I'm just mixing it myself and the vocalist is definitely problematic... Trying to keep him natural just doesn't suite the rest of the instruments and vibe of the production RE: Adam Buckley: 'Drag Me Down' - KMuzic - 15-11-2018 (15-11-2018, 09:28 PM)Fenekucci Wrote: Phenomenal. Thanks Fenekucci yes the vocals were definitely tough, I agree Cheers K RE: Adam Buckley: 'Drag Me Down' - OctopusOnFire - 16-11-2018 New version, night and day!! Now the voice is consistently where it should be, and the overly tuned vocals work, at least for me.

Thanks Octo, That was a first for me, so a good learning experience, thanks for the suggestion, glad it worked. Cheers K RE: Adam Buckley: 'Drag Me Down' - alandavidhenry - 21-11-2018 My favourite mix of this so far. Really like the robotic vocal tuning effect. Great fat bass too.
