Well well well ...
What to say ? ... You're touching the angels here...
Ok, i'll tickle the monkey, just to push you above your limits ! First of all, do know that it's only taste here.. your mix is beautiful...
-That fucking hi hat is a little too present ! But i don't remember if there's a hh track, or if they come with the OH .. maybe you could tamn them a little in the upper highs ? Don't know what you can do with it...
- Your snare gained a lot of low mids which is really good ! But it feels like it's equalized in a "V" mode... i kind'of feel like i'd like more mids (around 1k...). maybe just lowering a bit the bottom mic once more will do the job, or just give it a smooth boost with a Neve like eq (they are so good in the mids... ) ?
- Guitars (acoustics) are really beautiful !!!! Personnaly i would just lower a little of upper highs on them when the drums start, just to make some space for the rest.
- Lead vocals (damn, tell me what you did to make that awful distorsion almost out ????)... maybe, a little less around 200-300 (i know, it's tricky, cause you will touch the fundamentals of them...) could make them sound a little less "boxy"...
- Pedal steel guitar could benefit of a smooth 1/4 delay or something to make them last longer ? ... what do you think ?
Ok, i'll have a try at this one !!! I'm actually working on the next song Mike will publish soon ... (another one from Fergessen)... having a lot of fun, so i might apply what i did on it to this song (at least for the drums, which i got a huge sound from them, and will be happy to share !)
Always nice to listen to your mixes dear Marcus.
How come you have an SSL "at home" ?Is it the place you're working at ?
Allright... many words... sorry, but your mix inspire me... I love this band (and these people) so much, they deserve the best, and i will share your mix with them if you're ok with it ?
See ya soon ! and thank you again for taking this music to its best.
My dear Xabix,
Thank you so much for the kind words, I made a conscious decision to leave the mix now. I could tweak it until the cows come home.
The important thing is that I found the focal point of the song and wrapped it in a good way. (I think so at least)
The hardest thing is to know when to leave it alone.I wish I had the SSL at home but somehow neither my spouse or my bank feels that it would be a good thing..
I rent that room on a daily basis, it´s the Studio 2, Studio 1 houses an Icon that soon will be replaced by an API 48 frame with automation if the gods are willing.
Check out the homepage. www.recordia.seI found Fergessen on Soundcloud and shared my mix with them and they liked it! Hope that´s ok..
Much love,
