Revelation mix

[pauli]

Hey Skapunk. I don't personally think the mix is too bright... most analog recordings are a bit darker but modern tastes usually prefer a brighter mix, so it's no issue for me but I'm wondering if maybe you overcompressed the master bus a bit? It's not really uncomfortable, but there's not a whole lot of dynamic contrast (in my opinion.) Gotta say though, I love the Hammond sound you've got... comes through clear as a bell and makes its contribution known . You might also want to take a look at Guitar 1 during the solo... I can barely hear it at all. It's not a mix/EQ issue, really, the fader just needs to come up I think.

I'm just previewing the mix on headphones, but my main suggestion is to reduce the master bus compressor a bit and compress the individual instruments a little more aggressively if compression is needed. Did you trim out the track sections where the principal instrument isn't playing and it's all leakage? That might also go a long way toward getting the compression settings you want, too, since the master bus processor is going to react more than you might want it to if superfluous bleed is passing through.

Thanks for sharing, good work.
