Haha I've done more like 100+ mixes of this song if you counted the ones I didn't post. I don't mind working on this song since it has other qualities I prefer as well, for example, high quality recording, performance, etc.
Thanks to you, man, I, too, learn a lot from this thread, much more so than you. I never knew how potent the initial step was. From that, I also know now why the pros preferred the faders close to unity. Sometimes a couple of tenths of a dB can actually makes a difference and more room is better. I have a little taste of it and give it a lot more respect than I used to. I can list a lot more but let's just say that it makes it so much easier to work. I learn so much in the last couple months than all the years I put in. You and Blitzzz showed me it was not quite so hopeless. I am quite lucky and, of course, grateful.
Here is my latest mix. It is the result of what I have learned from both of you. I am happy with it for now. It took longer than usual because I am more careful in identifying the problems and still in learning stage of listening skill. And that alone itself takes some time to master. There are many frequencies I still don't hear or don't recognize. And heuristic method (my only way to learn) is always long and arduous but a beneficial one bc I discover many other things I didn't intent to find out at the moment.
Right now I am on that leg, the separation, and unmasking (EQ) is the only way I know to do it, unless you know of some other ways. So if you give it a listen, I'd like to know how well I separate them. I am more interest in knowing what instruments you have trouble hearing clearly. If possible..., would I be too greedy if I ask for some solutions while you're at it if you have them? Thanks in advance.
