C U Next Time - raphael - 18-12-2018
Hi there,
here's my mix
!What happened to Tom1 though ?
Cheers,
Raphaël
EDIT : same thing, but with less limiting.
RE: C U Next Time - Shul - 20-12-2018
Yeah this song needs a ton of production editing. I'm using the "mixed drums" track already. I mixed this in the past and omg I barely remembered that I had to edit A TON of parts on the guitars and bass and had to replace kick because it's cliping and toms etc.. a lot of editing.. Right now I'm just working with what the tracks are
..anyways It's a solid balance.. thought I'm noticing some cliping but I'm not sure if it's the recording or if you over did it with the limiter.
I like your drums. did you replace them with samples? or a combination of both?
cool mix
RE: C U Next Time - raphael - 20-12-2018
Hi Shul,
thank you for your comments!
I did add a kick sample because the original one sounded too muffled.
For the snare, I just used the samples 1 and 2 that were provided (but not 3). The snare also goes to a gated reverb and a room. The un-reverbered snare sees about 10 db of gain reduction with mid/slow attack with an API-type compressor, for some tasty snap.
For the overheads and room, there is some cleaning up of spurious ringing. The room is heavily compressed with a PYE-type plugin.
In both room and OH, I removed quite some 3k with a pultec-type eq (now that I opened my session again, not sure why I did that, but anyway...).
Toms were replaced as well.
Then, my drum bus is compressed in parallel with the compression of a chandler-type (TG) channel strip, short recovery. In the parallel compressed bus, I dialed back the receives of overheads and rooms, and pushed the snare forward.
I will update my original post with a version where I dial back the mix so it hits the final limited not so strongly.
Cheers,
Raphaël.
