Improvement Series Final

[pauli]

Hey manuke, good to hear from you. Editing is a hell of a chore, especially on legato strings . Normally I would try to fix them, and I did correct a few really distracting bits, but when I chose to remix this tune to help learn my new monitoring, it was having forgotten how tricky the female vocal situation was. I edit before I start doing any serious mixing, and after the couple hours I spent fixing bad edits, timing and re-ordering on the backing vocals, I'd already gone over budget :p

The wide snare is odd isn't it? The thought of slicing up the loop to narrow the snare image occurred, but if you reference similar material, that wide "snare" sound is everywhere. I read up on Bollywood film and music a bit to prepare for this mix, and learned that it's industry standard in the genre to eschew realism in favor of taking the audience on a sensual journey... So I left it alone, and quite like it . We all secretly love ridiculous, lush unrealistic reverbs and spaces, and this is a great mix for experimentation.
