Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - Rickaudio - 17-11-2012 Hi Here is my mix. I use a little different approach regarding the focus of attention in the mix. I hope you people like it. RE: Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - Rickaudio - 30-11-2012 Feedback are welcome. RE: Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - cfx - 04-12-2012 sorry From production view i like how you cleaned up the mids: Now I got a bit more room for few further FX here and there (as it's some sort of trance) or another instrument... but i would try to keep it still as minimum possible... From mastering / mixing aspects I really like the low end now (maybe also co-effect of the low-mid-cleaning) tight and clean as it should be the snare / clap could have some tiny reverb (the send highpassed), but i guess that's a matter of taste... For now i can't say much more - I will give it a listen on different monitors /phones and compare it to Andrea's version and mine. give me some days... and thanks! cheers RE: Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - Rickaudio - 09-12-2012 Thanks for the feedback. And thanks for the opportunity to work on your music. I appreciate it and I know every body in this community feel the same. :-) RE: Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - cfx - 10-12-2012 and I really appreciate your words :-) Ok, I have to revise my above comment about the snare... (when i wrote it, I only compared only few seconds in the middle of the mix A to B ... I should look at the raw multi-track again... was it a snare and a clap? ;-) ) so now I think the snare /clap changes well over time. Sometimes more dry, sometimes wet... I like it. Furthermore I noticed one mistake on my track (by me): I wanted to have an alternating snare with one short and one long decay... but not all the time... some parts should have consistent decays^^ Anyhow, I still really like it, it sounds great, but it should get a lot more intense towards the end (or continuously increase, see page 120, if you own the book) so... one idea I have in mind is to make it more "dirty" (e.g. distortion) during the time. (I guess it's more an arrangement- than a mixing-question) And after listening it like 1000 times now i start to hate the beginning^^ (also more an arrangement than a mixing-question) maybe it should fade in softly etc... hope this helps (though I criticized more my own multi-track than your mix) oh and please excuse my bad English RE: Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - Rickaudio - 12-12-2012 Hi c-fx, The history is: Afther I done with dymamics, I start making space and putting sounds in the pannorama. I prepared a gated reverb for the claps so when they hit togeter I can get a close snare with a nice tali and let the structure of the song to work on the variations. But the overall sound still had a lot of space, so the hi-hat have the power to fill that space. I found the sound so, I filed the space and as a happy blooper we make a hihat+verb solo, and build a thick ending to the final session of the track. Chapter 8 ... Rigth? My English ... not so well but ... tomorrow it will be a bit better. Or a lot who knows . Spanish is my first language. Have a good one. RE: Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - cfx - 13-12-2012 hi Rick, great, thanks for the explanations, I will try to hear that^^ is there anything about the multi-track that could have been better? might help me to make a better one the next time :-) yes chapter 8... haha I think I'm gonna read the book once more, can't be a bad idea too I like your optimism have a nice day! RE: Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - Rickaudio - 13-12-2012 Hi c-fx, Ok, here is my critic: I think that the track must be a little more dynamic, I'm refering the sessions. I think the structure of the track is nice because it complement your offer; for example the very first part with that strong bass and its echo, those metalic sounds hitting the floor or the bloop-pup-up comming from the left and rigth side of the pannorama. All the elements are well presented in the content. Now, the dense parts of the tracks can be fatter, a few more instruments, and/or layers of sound, little more aggressive, so it contrast more between the presentation of the elements. But ... it's a subjective opponion. I like the track ... it is very intresting, you did a great job. I hope this help for the next project. Keep in contact !!! RE: Mathematician Mixed by Rickaudio Music - cfx - 19-12-2012 thanks a lot, this is big motivation, thanks! very helpful tips I was not sure if it's part of the mixer or the "arranger" so I'll pay attention to dynamics next time. Playing guitar helps me on that as well luckily ;-) I will do so!! :-) |
