The Western Den - Like You Do (boomaga mix) - boomaga - 05-07-2020
What a great song. It's really grown on me. Telefunken mic'd the lead vocalist with what looks like a SM58 style live mic and there are some fricatives ('f' sounds) that push the diaphragm that right now I don't have a tool to eliminate automatically. I know how to tweeze those out using my old Wave Editor but since it's now owned by Adobe I can't afford it and the old version doesn't work on my system, so i'm still working on a technique for dealing with that. I've watched the live-in-studio vid of the take and in their mix they've killed those noises very effectively. Surely it's not just a de-esser, is it ? What do you use (besides a pop screen) ?
Here's a funny thing - I mixed for a good while before I realized my project was set up (and playing) the tracks in 44.1. Rookie mistake huh ? After correcting that I had to re-dial in all the EQs ofc, but at least it solved the "how is this guy playing a snare 5 feet wide" question.
Please leave feedback. Thank you !
Edit Aug 2: updated mix, revised automation, lowered Snare bottom, added highpass filter to vocals to reduce air-sounds, other small tweaks.
