RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - Blitzzz - 15-11-2016 I wasn't 100% happy with the vocals so I deleted half of the plugins of my vocal chain and only kept the ones that were really doing something (went from 6 plugins down to 3). Vocals sound slightly fuller now and gel more into the song. Did some automation to bring some highlights in the spotlight (mainly overheads and hats). RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - Jimdolorian - 16-11-2016 Hello , -Toms are too loud. -Voice volume could be lower :p -Too much verb on 2.00 lead. -Leads are a bit lost sometimes. -Maybe rythm could be louder. Exept that, this is pretty good sounding ! Take care. RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - Blitzzz - 08-12-2016 After working on a lot of others projects I finally came back to this song and made two small adjustments: 1. Turned the vocals down a db. I prefer "vocal up" mixes but it was a tad too much. 2. Brought down the toms by 2 dbs after clipping them a little more. For me, Still_Flyin_Final Mix 3.mp3 is solid as rock and from here everything else is pretty much personal preference and won't change the impact much. Cheers, Dirk RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - jerze - 09-12-2016 Cool intro. I like the mix you covered the issues with the tracks well. The only thing are the toms are still too hot at times. I might have to revisit mine and try and correct some things. Great job!

I wish I knew a way how to make the lead vocals sound smooth. I waisted 3-4 hours yesterday trying to fix those harsh frequencies in the 1-3k area with as less processing as I could but to no avail. Probably have to bring out the big guns and just squash them to death. If you can, maybe try a multi band compressor (TDR Nova is free). I was able to zero in on those harsh frequencies around 3-3.5 k which really helped. RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - mick2015 - 18-12-2016 Hey Dirk, Mix3 is a solid mix, nice job. The drum samples you've used sound particularly good, the low end of the kick works really well. Personally, I'd like to hear a touch more top end/air and a bit more width. That's just my preference. I've just started having a look at this mix, keen to hear your feedback when I've uploaded it. Cheers, Mick. RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - matiasgodoy399 - 22-12-2016 sounds awesome dude! Nice intro, nice choice of drum samples, that snare cuts through incredibly good. Personally, I would like to hear the vocals a little bit brighter, although I know those are a pain in the ass vocals to work on the first place... Yet, It's definitely a killer mix Please come over and listen to my mix, I'm sure you will be able to helpfully criticise me! Cheers! Matias RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - OldNewbieITB - 15-09-2018 Hi Blitzzz - I know this is almost two years old but I just found this tune and you did an awesome job on this mix. The choices you made were really good. Many thanks for sharing. ONITB RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - Blitzzz - 14-03-2019 Thank you mate, didn't see your comment. Someone from the band also gave me his blessing, so it seems like I did something right back then RE: Still flying - this song needs the full Joey Sturgis Treatment =) - Arielp - 17-09-2019 wow sound good super good job blitzz |
