My Mix - SquareCell - 17-11-2012 My attempt at creating a warm 'Nashville-Style' mix... Comments welcome and appreciated! RE: My Mix - uzilevi - 18-11-2012 hi its nice sound relaxing but the piano have to much reverb on it and is to "boxy" it dosent fit with all othere , and the e-gtr is to low for leading part it need to fill all the parts. but nice feal.

The piano in my mix was pictured as the 'glue' in the mid-highs so the level and tone was intended as rather brown-orange whilst most of the ambience comes from the room mics with a little reverb n the close mics. The e-guit should complement the piano in my mix and the doubletracking should give some movement within the soundstage. Hope this makes sense... Our 2 approaches to the mix have taken a different interpretation. I love your neat presentation and clear separation between instruments. However, the low end 'clean up' in your mix I find takes away some of the organic feel of the song. But that is what makes mixing such fun... it's a real eye opener seeing how different people interpret the same song and come up with different mixes. Thanks again for your feedback! Cheers! RE: My Mix - DanUpdegraff - 27-11-2012 Nice, I like it better than the original. The only thing I noticed is the kick drum might be too loud or too bassy. It kept interrupting my focus on the music.

I really like the pleasant and fresh feel you gave to that song. I totally agree with your choice of piano tone, a little boxy, but filling that mid frequency part... which leeds me to the point that if you mute it, there's kind of a "hole" in this frequency part. Maybe lead vocals could be a little more "body" style, just a few, very few dB's on the 100-200Hz could be benefit... not even sure... talking about really detailed things that no one matters while lstening. Guitars (acc) could be maybe less "crystal clear" and have a little more body too, and the kick less low end and more 500-800Hz (can't hear it well on small speakers like Auratone and PC Craps!). I'll listen to it on my main monitors tomorrow cause i think it'll make me a nice waking-up piece of music !

(Although I'm only listening on my PC speakers at the moment.)

Ditto, but I wonder whether you've been a bit too ruthless in this respect. I reckon you could round off some the guitar sparkliness (which is making it feel a bit too upfront anyway to me), and give the piano a little more of that action so that it gives a more hi-fi tone subjectively. I have to say I'd probably use a bit more delay/reverb in general if I were after a Nashville sound. In particular I'd try to sneak in a bit more warm plate for sustain, and maybe a bit of subtle Lexicon-ish room to blend and widen things a bit more.

Hi Mike, Thanks for your honest review, as always. I get what you mean when suggesting lifting the piano subjectively to the guitars - in hindsight it will go a longer way towards the warmer, crafted style I was aiming for, as would the suggested ambience. However, I believe that any such ambience treatment would have to be filtered to the mids, say up to 2.5-4kHz to retain the lushness without making it sound too awash with reverb...? Thanks again, and cheers! Clinton RE: My Mix - arielguitarcr - 03-06-2013 your approach seems so close of my approach of the song.... and i think that you record and extra guitar dont you?

I dont really understand what you mean by your last phrase... I only used the tracks available for download and did not add any overdubs, if that was what you were referring to. I did however, double one of the guitar tracks and off-set it slightly to the original to give a wider perspective. Cheers, Clinton |
