Fredy V - Not Alone

[Mixinthecloud]

It's really good. There is definitely more bottom and meat on it. Maybe a little too much kick and bass. I can hear the master bus choking out the snare after some hard kik hits and the occasional vocal. What is on the bus? Maybe just raising the threshold will chill it out enough. I did get to hear some parts I had never noticed before.

There is a lot going on here. The first device in the chain is an over-all buss compressor at 2:1 and at 50% parallel with only a small bite. next is a 4 band, multi-band compressor doing a lot of work to smooth out the character of the sonic content. Next is a 7 band parametric EQ doing some low end sweetening and some notching in the upper mids and highs. Next is a true peak limiter. These are all inserts. In the post is a Mid-Side, phase coherent graphic EQ for some final sweetening and next, a final limiter. The limiters in all locations are set for true peak and are just nipping peaks to ensure compliance with standards. Their sonic contribution is minimal.

I significantly reduced the level of the kick drum and slightly boosted the bass guitar, but it may take more manipulation considering the multi-band compression. I made no changes to that in mastering after the remix but this may need addressing.
