The Updated - "New" - Joy of Release... - Mixinthecloud - 20-07-2021 Hey there Cambridge Community, This turned into a very creative mix for me. The song inspired me to try things I never tried before and that was enriching. For me it was about making a song out of the given parts. How did you do? There is good fundamentals and harmonic complexity on these good tracks. This mix reflects structure I heard for this song. I think it makes sense. What do you think? Jesse Joy - Release - Master 2 Taking RoyM's advise I modified the lead vocal level to scousche and included some other unavoidable minor tweaks. Let me know what you think of the differences between the two mixes. Jesse Joy - Release - Master 3 A few more tweaks to imaging, balance and perspectives, mostly at the end of the song. This mix addresses weakness at the end of the previous mixes. This ending reflects a better and clearer vision of the song's end as the drums come in. Use of all of the palette here was re-visioned for your enjoyment. And mine. Thanks, As always, Happy mixing mITc RE: The Joy of Release... - Unknow Mixer - 20-07-2021 Niceeeee. Great Stuff! I really like it. Cheers! RE: The Joy of Release... - Roy - 20-07-2021 I haven't listened to the preview mix so I can't say how structure has or was changed. As it is in this mix the structure and arrangement works well. Overall it sounds good. Tones and balances all fit together nicely. I think the vocal could come up a bit. It comes in a bit weak. I get that emotionally should have some vulnerability but I think the performance sells that. Maybe it's a bit too 'airy'. Maybe it's not the level but size. I'm not sure. Anyhoo, that's how I hear it.

If you feel the emotional value of the song would be served better by an even larger vocal, I will take a good listen to that. Thank you. On a more general note: I recently moved my big speakers out of my control room to enjoy a Sheryl Crow streaming show on my big screen and have not moved them back. As a result, there is low end in this mix I was not hearing and will need to be addressed in an update. Maybe I need better phones too.
