Black Crown - Headphone mix - gurke - 11-03-2017 *11.03.2017 Update* *12.03.2017 Update* *16.03.2017 disimprovement* RE: Black Crown - Headphone mix - sysrq - 11-03-2017 Quite well balanced roomy mix, snare could be fuller and roomier with less average sounding reverb (like in this old school rock song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8iWN6CbwCs, sorry for low bitrate, better version on spotify). Why are vocals so whiny nowadays? RE: Black Crown - Headphone mix - gurke - 11-03-2017 Gonna completely revise the drums and guitars. I like whiny voices. The song reminded me of these guys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmvbiuzMcWs But I never use any reference tracks to adapt EQ or anything. RE: Black Crown - Headphone mix - loweche6 - 08-04-2017 What's up gurke? Pretty solid mix, but a few points that stick out to me. The drum room mics are pretty hot in your mix. I think you could benefit from bringing them down (or maybe crushing them with a compressor to get a really overdriven drum tone). The hi-hats and the crash ride are your two biggest offenders, imo. The vox could come up a bit too, but not as much as I think, probably, as when you address the drum room mics, I think they will be a little more prominent. Keep working, and don't be frustrated if you keep mixing a song and it gets worse (as your disimprovement comment connotes) as these songs will hone your chops, and help you identify troubling issues in later songs. I have a thread on here where I mixed a song, conservatively, thirteen times, and am still nowhere happy with what I have (maybe I should address this white whale again). Anyhoo, good swing, and try to see if instruments/effects/specific frequencies are covering other portions of an instrument. Cheers! Draper |
