Is You Is - Olli H - Olli H - 29-08-2015
I was after a modern retro sound. My main reference was Al Schmitts mix of Paul McCartney’s recent jazz record ”Kisses on the boottom”.

I love it lovely mix
RE: Is You Is - Olli H - HbGuitar - 11-09-2015
I like this mix. I think cool jazz agrees with you Olli
. Sometimes I wish the vox had a gentle verb air - mainly during the bridge, but the intimate vibe you have is great and if it matches your reference of the great Al Schmitt then I'm not going to object
RE: Is You Is - Olli H - Olli H - 11-09-2015
I actually agree with you about air with vox, and I was thinking about it when mixing.
But in those rare cases when I found respectable and suitable reference to practice with, I tend to follow it to those details I'm still capable of hearing. Just to learn some new perspectives and just to refresh my mind from my own stubborn thinking patterns - and there's plenty of them. But I'm quite sure that if Al Schmitt heard my mix, he wouldn't find it so similar to his mixes.
With next song I may find a reverby but venerable reference, and then I'll be testing the opposite with vox...

Very nice mix. I find the vocal is sitting very nice in the mix.

Had a listen this morning, beautiful mix! As Stefanos has stated, the vocals are sitting really nice. Very enjoyable. Well Done.

(@ Dangerous, I tried to find your mix, but I couldn't)

Still working on it. Will get it out there soon.

Nice work.
I should add some delay to the voice.
The piano solo is awesome ! I couldn't get that tone.
Congrats ! Good job !

For some reason I don't get anymore email notifications if someone comments my mixes. I happened to see your comment just by accident.
Thanks for comments. Actually the "secrect" of the piano sound is that I did almost nothing to it.
- I panned the left mic to center and right mic to full right. So I reduced the width, so that piano is more naturally somewhere
- 315 hz small cut
- 1.6 k very small boost
- 8.2 k bigger boost but only to sides, so I guess only to left mic as the right mic was in center.
