my Nerve 9: 'Living Lie' mix - mart'ess - 24-05-2020 my mix RE: my Nerve 9: 'Living Lie' mix - Lethan - 24-05-2020 Hey Mart'ess, Nice balance, work well, Bass guitar handled nicely, Vocal sounds cool. The only issue I have with drums. Not an easy task to deal with this session. First Snare feel too dry, disconnected despite i feel it's on the right position, it doesn't feel it support a kick. As I mention it is not an easy task to proper balance kit in this material. As for a snare cause the transients feels jump out a lot, you could try dome limiting clipping, to push it back a little bit. More reverb could work too. Cymbals are a bit to harsh. In overall, I feel the mix in nicely balanced, bass and guitars sounds good.

RE: my Nerve 9: 'Living Lie' mix - ThomasStevenson - 24-05-2020 Hi Mart'ess Thanks for mixing our song - I liked the overall balance of the elements throughout. I will write down a few observations below as I listen through. - nice balance of vocals and guitar in the start - vocal treatment overall sounds great - most important element, so time well spent - kick track needs time aligned. Without it, it sounds like a ghost hit - most evident when the drums start - drum balance sounds good, but favours the overheads. There are periods where the cymbals are taking center stage as a result. These mics were less OH and more cymbal mics in actuality, so the high end of them needs some kind of treatment. Some additional kick and snare level I think would help too, especially on the back beat in the chorus where the snare can shine. - more 200Hz in guitars? Missing some weight there. - middle lead guitar part - this is where I hear the cymbals a lot. The lead guitar feels behind the rhythm as well to me here. - like the middle section - sounds good - not hearing the bass fills as much as I'd like - could be eq, or you could do a parallel distortion track and automate up the fills or other technique - outro sounds good to me ! Thanks again for mixing the track - I do like your overall mix vision in general. I hope some of these observations are helpful to you !
