First Mix Ever / Ghost Bitch - xlriver - 10-07-2017 Hi everyone, this is my first mix and its absolutely not on the high level of this forum. But I still wanted to upload it, because of faster progressing from getting feedback. Hope someone gives me a little bit of feedback and could point out where this mix has clearly weaknesses. Aloha xlriver RE: First Mix Ever / Ghost Bitch - LukasL - 10-07-2017 Great, this first mix is pretty good already and does not have many of the obvious rookie mistakes (Still considering myself a rookie, lolz) Some suggestions: - The upright bass in the beginning is extremly compressed, because its the only thing it's very obvious, I would tone down the compression and automate it - Push back the vocal back a bit - it dominates the mix and instruments are pretty quiet - De-ess the vocal, lots of sibilance - Kinda feels like you are not using the stereo spectrum to its potential, imo a wide stereo spread fits this kinda music - Bring the sfx down in favor of the music, it should be the focus - Push some of the percussion back (LP-Filter, Reverb and/or lower volume) General Tips: - Automate stuff! (e.g. in the end the piano dominates the vocal) - Arrange stuff! (Build intesity and keep it intresting) Keep it up, awesome as a first mix. Lukas RE: First Mix Ever / Ghost Bitch - xlriver - 11-07-2017 Hi Lukas, wow, thanks for your very detailed feedback, really appreciate it! Today I mixed my second track and tried to implement all of your advices, check it out if you want to. Aloha xlriver |
