Revelation mix

Thanks for the comments guys.

Pauli - I do use a 2mix bus compressor (analog) but it is only 'tickling' the VU: usually less than 1 dB, then into a valve EQ (HPF, dip mud, +/- air/upper mids) to print; from the print I used a waves L2 limiter to bring it up to level. Listening back - I think you're right: it is too compressed - I'm going to go through the tracks and see what can be loosened up a bit. Again this was a first pass static mix - no automation: so guitar solo and ear candy parts to come thru next. Will probably drop the vocal level a touch. The organ part has both a mic on the horns and one on the low speaker. I high passed the horns and gave them a significant amount of air. As a result you can hear more of the room in the track: for me, thats what makes it really work. I tend to do quick digital edits on the tracks to get rid of spillage when the instrument is not playing, and so, compression can be used more readily.

Cheers guys! L8rs
