McLovins: 'Buildin It Up' (critiques plz) - LukasL - 04-01-2019 Hey guys, here is my mix. Vocals were an issue as there was a lot of spill from the drums but also lots of dynamic inconsistencies by the vocalist. For the drums I went with a more tight disco-type sound, with the heart of the kick drum punch placed higher than I usually do (120HZ). In the last section those cymbals really killed me, tried a high cut on the OHs. Let me know how I did! Cheers, Lukas RE: McLovins: 'Buildin It Up' (critiques plz) - Sanbiki - 04-01-2019 Is it me or Anthony Kiedis is on this track ? Nice energy ! Very funky, head-bobbing test passed 100% ! I think the drum is a bit too strong in the mix, especially the kick The snare sounds a bit '80's electric drumkit' (but maybe it's the case ), a bit thin. The kick's tone is nice but it seem to eat a lot of the bass low end vibe. The vocals are a bit muffled at the begining Chorus / main riff is great, i may have it in my head for the next two days. I think i'm going to give it a try too ! hope it'll turn out that good. Edit : i just imported the project and ... oh man i get what you said about the vocals, it's goint to be challenging ! RE: McLovins: 'Buildin It Up' (critiques plz) - Shul - 05-01-2019 Hello there *cool thight drum sound but kick could pierce through better. *Voice is a bit muddy. could get cleaned up a lil more even though I know that it will change the snare texture a bit. *That's cool you split that guitar and hammond left and right like I did lol. I personally did that to free some space in the center for the snare to not get cloudy with so much. *BAlances overall are pretty consistent. *not sure how I like that back vox but then it's something I struggled with too. good mix. RE: McLovins: 'Buildin It Up' (critiques plz) - Mixinthecloud - 02-02-2019 Nice and fat. The 'disco' drums is an interesting take. The outside kick mic added a ton of that upper bass and was tricky getting it to blend well with the inside kick. As a result I low-passed and high-passed the outside (to get rid of a lot of kit bleed) and used it to fill in the clickyness of the inside mic, where I boosted below 50 a touch. I will have to agree with other commenters that the general instruments and voice could be a little crisper which I think would really bring your otherwise excellent mix into finer focus. |
