Hi guys, new folk in town ! First mix posted on forum I hope you like it
Don't be gentle, don't be afraid to say something it ill only be a GREAT help !
It is really a cool song, like this gendre. So I will do a quick description of what I did :
-There was plenty of spill because recorded live so I gated what I could and left raw where it sounded bad. The lead vocal was pretty tough with the spill (I decided not to gate), some hard plosives (would like some tips to fix those) and volume difference.
DRUMS:
Nothing crazy, boosted the lows on the kick a bit around 140Hz for 3 dB. I picked the AK47 room mic, witch I did parallel processing and compressed it a lot (but blend it in very low)
Did a return track for the snare with some saturation for a snappier sound.
BASS:
Used the DI take, much cleaner than amp take ...
So I did I low pass at around 1K and did again a return track were I use guitar rig to get some extra mids in there and high passed around 1k or little lower.
GUITAR:
I found that the guitar got a great tone, great playing helps a lot haha. I did high pass at 250Hz. Scooped a bit of low mid and boosted around 4/5K.
KEYS:
I left the keys stereo, it was nice and full. Tried to do some left and right EQ were for exemple I curve out 3 dB at 1K left, I boost 3 dB at 1K right etc ...
VOCALS:
They were tricky, I actually spent some time cleaning hat I could ...
On the back vocals I panned one middle, one hard left, and one hard right. Tried to complement them with some gentle EQ moves a little bit like with the keys.
I did do a return track to the main vocal where I kept everything under 1K, saturate it and compressed it pretty hard again. Is volume good to you ? Little verb and delay on main.
Used 3 Verbs, one short, one mid, one long. Everything going trough those except the bass.
I Find that the keys gets lost a bit time to time ... :/
I did nothing on the master. Mixed it with Ableton 9 with 60% stock plug-ins.
And yeah that's basically it ! Would love criticism
