My version without any master processing. I suppose that the fact that I found nothing challenging, but rather relaxing about mixing this,means that it could have been much better. Still, not bad for 3 hours of work.
When I feel I've reached the end, and, in the word of Andrew Scheps "I'm not feeling it" , it was called done. Just a quick practice, bare in mind.
pretty good rough mix - instruments are all nice sounding and well presented. Three main observations;
1. the mix dynamic takes a big step down after the intro - feels like an energetic let-down
2. choice of FX makes the vox sound low/sitting back in mix/different room from instruments
3. instruments slightly overwhelm vox in chorus
cheers, Simon
Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
Thank you. In essence it could be said that levels and dynamics are mostly making this mix not really work, what even I see when listening after a while and thus gaining perspective.
