MIX NOTES
- I guess the most notable EQ moves were ~1khz bump for acoustic and electric guitars to bring them forward, and mostly panned out of the way of the drums and vocals
- Still not incredibly confident when it comes to balancing layers of the same part or same instruments, mostly just panning and reducing layers that sound too loud
- Brought down the volume of instruments during the FX break so that next chorus section could bump back up again; did some editing and volume automation for the ramp up
- As I progressed in the project I kept nudging the Pads lower and lower in volume as mix started to feel more cluttered and muddy with so many elements
- Most important elements were Drums, Bass, Vox, and Acoustic Guitars; everything else seemed secondary
- Parallel compression for the whole mix at the end to beef it up before mastering
- Classic fade out!
