I always was very impressed with Neil Finn (Crowded House)
His work always has a very cohesive glued sound, warm and punchy.
It's very tempting these days with digital to keep all that top end clarity, but i really wanted to understand that NEVE desk sound and this mix was an experiment in getting that classic sound in a DAW (S14), I'm pleased with the result ( I think)
I felt this song would work sounding less modern. Good production and arrangement I thought. Really nice work! Well done, and good to see the song arranged on youtube,
As much I liked what I had done I felt the master compression wasn't right, I tried a new method (parallel compression) and also sent all channels to bus's....vox, guitar, bass, drums etc.. I'm using the PreSonus ctc-1 pro console shaper set to Neve, no drive, just colouring the mix, I feel the result is glued and has musical energy, very pleased with this mix,
