30 minute mix - pauli - 02-04-2014
I wasn't trying to go fast, but I impressed myself
RE: 30 minute mix - takka360 - 02-04-2014
Very harsh sounding and very compressed
RE: 30 minute mix - pauli - 02-04-2014
hahaha yeah
one of those things where you listen to it the next day with fresh ears and all you can do is laugh.It's also limited, which I almost never do because it always comes out sounding harsh and compressed. Comedy of errors! I'll re-post a better version.
RE: 30 minute mix - pauli - 02-04-2014
Alrighty... this will probably be easier on the ears. Did some minor bass and kick tweaking so I could brings the lows up a bit higher without it getting muddy, rolled off the highs on a few offending channels to cut the harshness, and dumped the limiter in exchange for a tube saturation emulator with a much less extreme gain reduction.
Better?
RE: 30 minute mix - takka360 - 02-04-2014
The drums and guitar still sound a bit lifeless the snare sounds flat with comp so does the kick.
Just try the mix with no comp on anything ans just a bus comp and easy limiter and just knock 2 bb off both.
Give it a try bit of 140 plate on vox jobs a good en, its better than the last tho.
I always eq master bus, 2 and half db out at 500 ish One and a half db add high shelf at 8k.

I see what you're saying
Thanks for the objectivity!I think my reference material wasn't appropriate and the raw recordings must have been quite compressed to begin with, because I hardly used any compression at all, except for the drum kit!
RE: 30 minute mix - takka360 - 03-04-2014
Yes they are compressed I think you will find, compression can be great but can also be the tool of the devil
we all over use it at times.
