Remember Jones - Don't Put Me On Hold - mikej - 27-08-2020 Hi, Tried to give it a good go! Cheers! RE: Remember Jones - Don't Put Me On Hold - LukasL - 06-09-2020 Hey MikeJ, very natural balance and nice mix. The drums however, espcially the snare dissapear a bit in the mix. They could have a bit more attack. The oohs are a bit loud, otherwise very nice. Cheers, Lukas RE: Remember Jones - Don't Put Me On Hold - mikej - 06-09-2020 Hi! Thanks for checking out my mix and for taking the time to comment, much appreciated! I feel the snare is ok for my taste. I am thinking more 70's style funk and soul, rather than rock. I don't feel that the snare needs to be quite so up front and smashed for this track. The drums can take a bit more of a back seat to the vocals and horn section - I was quite pleased with how the horn section came across, anyway. I think the master bus compressor is doing a good job with the snare and vocal level balance. I suppose I am saying that the snare sound and level in the mix was a deliberate decision. Similar with the BV's - they are really good and I didn't want to bury them. Just my take - that's not to say I don't appreciate your view point as well. Cheers!

Knowing the things I mentioned were deliberate decisions, it works very well. I came back to your mix, while trying to mix this thing myself and you achieved great seperation and clarity between instruments. I struggled with that and I'm still dissatisfied with my mix, probably lost perspective along the way... Cheers, Lukas RE: Remember Jones - Don't Put Me On Hold - mikej - 07-09-2020 Hi! I know what you mean. As far as my mixes go I really do welcome all comments and opinions. Sometimes (rarely!) I feel I should defend my position a little though. Saying that, in my case a mix decision and a 'mistake' could very well be the same thing , which is why its great to be able to discuss them on here! Cheers! |
