Earforce MIx - earforce - 14-08-2021

I spent the most time to get the snare sounding to my taste. And the Bass was a bit challenging. The rest was quick.
I didnt like that Telefunken Sessions not much at the beginning, because of the bleeds. Some recordings have more others few. But learned that they are not a great problem, if you deal with right. If you try to get rid of them, your are in trouble.

Hello there! I think the mix is balanced very good. bass is good to me, but everything feels slightly bright to contrary though. The snare has a nice top end, to me it sounds peaky around 1-3kish, but its nice. It kinda feels behind some of the elements in the music, so a small Q bump around 200-500hz would give it just a little more size. That chamber track is important to give the drums that big energy feel it needs. Its a big part of the song. It needs to be big, somewhat scooped and hold all of the aftermath sound of the transients hits. Vocals from 4k up could use a de esser, but I think a short, rich sounding, dark plate reverb with a delay of 110ms -150ms would do magic to set the vocals in the right place. Also to keep the listening perception, put it on the guitar solo. I know what you mean about that bleed! I basically set up noise gates where I could put them(Toms, Keys), and I let some of the bleed back through -40dbs or so to not completely kill the energy. Anyways good mix Smile

Thank you! With the bleeds, one may not try to element them all. That sounds unnatural. Just pull them done were it is not disturbing anything. Sometimes a compress Room or OV Tracks with a sidechain from a snare track, to pull down the snare. Just quick release just to get the transients down. With the reverb I will give it a try.
