The bass is less offensive, the toms are much more reasonable, the kick is fine but...
It sounds like the whole mix has been recorded on a worn out half inch tape, there's a lot of flutter/wow all along, this is sounding rather weird.
My guess is that you've used a tape emulation on your master bus and went a bit overboard or used a preset that adds quite a lot flutter/wow, it's not really enhancing the recording, it's really damaging on headphones in particular.
Moreover you've pushed the de-esser on this version, the previous was already quite heavy handed but on this one I have a therious cathe of a lipthe!
"I'm a thool I'm thinging the bluethe" is what I'm hearing...
Thank Patrick, very usefull as always
I didn't use any tape emulation on the master bus and/or wow&flutter plugin, but what is important to me is that you listen that kind of fx and you find it unpleasant.
I think it could be a side effect of the side enhancement that hits too much on rhodes and solo guitar (those are originally stereo and strongly chorus effected themself)
I do a lot of experimentation here on Cambridge-mt mixes (I'm not a preset guy) and your feedback is really precious
I'm not afraid to sound weird, but it has to be pleasant also
Thanks
