Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - juanjose1967 - 07-02-2016 For this mix I've been using the new waves nx virtual mix room plugin since I don't have a sound treated room at home to mix. So I had to get used to the new sound I was getting in my headphones. I hope the result was good but if not, feel free to point out what's to be improved! RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - takka360 - 07-02-2016 Translates ok mate,The mix sounds ok,bit lifeless maybe RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - juanjose1967 - 07-02-2016 ok, let me see what I can do to solve that! thank you, Alan!! RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - takka360 - 07-02-2016 Get better at mixing? lol only joking mate .Its probably just getting used to the plugin RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - juanjose1967 - 07-02-2016 get better? I think that's everybody's goal here! yes, I must get used to the plugin. Things sound very different and it's like walking with new shoes... RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - ptalbot - 08-02-2016 It's always possible to do better, jj, don't worry! Your mix doesn't sound bad to me, just a few things that I've noted: - the bass is very round, it lives mostly in the low end but there's little transients, so I find it muddies things a bit and lacks a bit of punch. - the LV is perhaps a little loud, which could also be what takka said about being a bit lifeless: the background tracks are masked by the vocal. - horns could have a bit more presence and punch, they are lacking a bit of sustain, I think. Oh! and the fade out is a bit early and rushed IMHO. RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - Olli H - 09-02-2016 Overall sound pretty good to my ears. I like acoustic and bass. Opening fine to me, but when vox comes in, it feels like a bit too much eqed. Or as if he’s singing in a small closet. Or something else. But vox sound doesn’t blend with the band nicely. Now it's like a cue track, the artist has not visited the studio yet. I think it's the vox sound that causes Alan comment your mix a bit lifeless. I like drums To me the horns have too much presence. But that's just personal preference. Just for security reasons I want to keep a good distance to any horn player. The edge of solo guitar and the edge of horns are probably too much on the same area. RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - juanjose1967 - 10-02-2016 Here's a second mix with some improvements regarding your suggestions. I have no idea about what Alan meant with his lifeless comment since everyone here seemed to understand a different thing. In fact I was thinking about too much compression in certain instruments. But anyway, here it is and I hope it is now better. Thank you Patrick and Olli for your help! RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - ptalbot - 12-02-2016 Sounds better to me jj! But now I think the cymbals sound a bit loud and the end Lead guitar solo is a bit harsh. RE: Patrick Talbot - "Upper Hand" - juanjose1967 - 12-02-2016 I'll check on that too. In fact, I had noticed those same things one day later after my post with fresh ears... right now I'm on a business trip, but I will post the new mix next week when I return home. |
