Dark Ride - Piece of Me Mix - Jmax001 - 17-07-2022
Just mixed this last night. I mixed it in Reaper. I mostly do live sound but like to hone the DAW mixing skills as well. This is a loud file about -8.5 LUFS average, so beware headphone users.
Might fiddle with this one a bit more, as it's a kick ass song. I'm not sure if I'm happy with the acoustic guitar and piano section at this moment. But that's always the thing, you can tweak a mix forever. I've learned to mix it and move on. As a live engineer I have zero time to second guess myself.
Enjoy!
EDIT: Mastered this as well. There is more clarity in the acoustic guitar section with piano and strings as well. I think the rhythm guitars are chunkier and have better clarity and punch throughout the song now as well.
