My Mix - Skifeet - 20-03-2016
I had a very chaotic approach on this song apart from setting proper gain staging.
I kinda went at it as a live engineer.
Rcomp was my friend for most of this song ,because of the vocals bouncing around etc.
I don't have waves vocal rider and must say that today i was too lazy to fader ride.
I replaced the kick and snare not because i was lazy haha ,but i tried to apply some reductive eq using fabfilter pro q2 ,but i just wasn't satisfied.
Bear in mind the fact that i'm still in an untreated room using harman kardon soundsticks ....i'm trying haha (studio upstairs wil be ready soon and i will be buying some decent studio monitors again ..i did upgrade to a focus rite saffire pro 56 tho)
I did some m/s processing on the guitars to make room for the vocals leaving the guitars a bit thinner than i normally would.
I gave the guitars and the vocals a tad of verb.
Let me know what you guys think as i did not use any reference and my ears are frigging tired ...i could be listening to this tomorrow and say ''what the hell was i thinking''

For my taste: lead vocal too loud. Kick/snare and bass too quiet
