Going to the moon ...mix and master

[mikej]

Hi!

2nd mix is much better for me.

Dunno for sure, but the mention of new converters, and my ears, tells me this is likely an analog mix, or maybe a hybrid mix. Am I right or off base here? Either way it would be interesting to know!

I do admit to once trying to emulate the sound I heard on a youtube video where the guy was mixing on an SSL pushing into Lavry Gold converters I think it was.

First mix was punchy for sure, but the kick and bass was causing the mix bus compression to really push the vocal down in the mix.

2nd mix is much better in that regard. Balance wise I think for me you could still get the vocals just a little more out in front of that kick and bass perhaps? I think the very end tail on the, delay is it, is maybe a little distracting too for me. I recall I have heard similar on some of the Telefunken mixes.

Good otherwise.

My thinking too with this was to focus on the vocal, drums, bass and the synth hook, and to fit everything else around those eleements really.

Anyway, just my thoughts, what do you think?

Cheers!
