Hungarian Dance No 5 - CorradoFusaro - 20-03-2019
Hi everyone, my name is Corrado and this is the version of my mix.
I am not a "professional" so any comment or help regarding the mix is welcome.
Hello everybody

Nice! I like the reverb and balance with the guitar a bit behind the saxophone.
There is a good deal of distortion because the overall levels are too high. Also, the compression is quite noticeable. A little compression is no big deal, but in this case, it's distracting. It also takes away from some of the punches (for instance, at 0:53, and at the end). Being classical music, a natural-sounding mix would probably be more appropriate.
Oh yeah, I also like how you put the guitar sound together; I don't hear too much of the direct input which is a plus!

Thanks Imat for your reply and advice.
I tried to compress the whole project less, as you suggested.
I hope to be improved even though I now feel more natural but less strong.
Tips and help always welcome by all.
Greetings Corrado

Hey, that's a lot better! There's less distortion, but still *some* clipping. It may not show up in your digital audio workstation if the clipping is happening, for instance, between plugins. Try to make sure the mix stays -3dB max?
There is a lot of reverb, which is fine here. That makes it sound like they're in a large hall, but it still sounds natural.
Sorry it took so long to get back to you! I didn't get notification of your message! I'll see if I can fix that.
