Hi!
I mixed this nice song using a channel strip avalon 737 and a varimu compressor in all separate tracks (Eq and Dynamics)
All tracks were printed in pro tools using the avid hd i/o converters
I used the fabfilter eq to fine adjustments
In a drum subgroup, I used the (TOKYO DAWN LABS - TDR nova) to add more ''AIR''
The mix was made with summing mixer. I used the Focusrite 2802 and a Stereo Manley Varimu.
To master, I used just a TC Finalizer 96k
Welcome!
Overall, it feels ok. It feels a little 'flat' and lacks excitement. Subdued may be a better term. It's almost shy.
Individually the instruments are fine tonally but it doesn't feel jelled together.
The vocal is fine tonally but could be out in front just a little more. The group vocals sit well.
It's a good mix but I think it could definitely be taken up a notch. It needs some more excitement.
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
Welcome Roger,
Your mix sounds amazing to me. Very clean and smooth. Drums sound fantastic and the levels all seem perfect. I can hear everything so clearly (except that horrible snare_down which I guess you replaced?). It's bouncy and dynamic, and the loudness is just right.
Looking forward to hearing more mixes from your analog setup :-).
All the best, Graham (IRONWORK).

Hi, Graham,
I do appreciate your comments. Concerning the bottom, I kept the original sound in low volume and put a gate to fast release. I've mixed two other songs: Tiring, by RaftMonk, and Dark Horses, by The Long Wait.
I hope we keep in touch. :-)
Best regards,
