Mixing Opener - Davie.T - 08-10-2019 Had sooo much fun with this as a big band guitarist.I know this genre requires more organic sound and little to no processing but in this case I treated it a bit like commercial record(Lots of compressions,automation) Hope It doesn't sound too squashed and remains natural. Cheers!! Opener#2 Few adjustments-More reverb and cleaned a bit some of this washy/edgy 2 kHz area.I also tried some bus drum fattening cause drums sounded really weak compared to the horn ensemble to me. RE: Mixing Opener - Dangerous - 09-10-2019 Hi Davie, Being a BB musician you're going to know a lot more about this genre than myself so take the following comments with a grain of salt. I really like the balance across the floor. The dynamics and compression seem to be tastefully executed for my taste also. I found a little build up of upper mid frequencies around the 2.5khz that made things a little hash. Also I found the space around the performance a little undefined overall. I hope you don't mine, I included a version of your mix with a gentle cut centred at 2.4khz and adding some slight ambience overall. This seemed to help settle the mix nicely within a space and bring it more into line with some material I referenced. Once again, I hope you don't mind. I have got into trouble for doing this thing before. Anyway you did a nice job of this one regardless. Dave RE: Mixing Opener - Davie.T - 09-10-2019 Man of course not I'm happy you did it and you proved your point-It was just too dry.I was really careful with reverb cause I wanted to achieve more upfront close sound(At least I convinced myself It sounds that way)But when I referenced that toady It really sounded like recorded in practice room.Thanks for your help Dave till next mix RE: Mixing Opener - Dangerous - 10-10-2019 Sounding a lot more assembled this time round. I finding it sounding a little lossy though. Are you uploading @320bps? RE: Mixing Opener - Davie.T - 12-10-2019 Just updated to 320
