Unfortunately I worked with equipment that wasn't as good as the stuff this song is obviously recorded on, so I could never save my own tracks in term of sound-quality.
So with this track I tried to do what I would have liked to do to my own old music (Times have changed in those 20-30 years. Technology is so different now)
Anyway, I aimed for a dry and tight sound on this track.
I don't know what the song is about, as I don't understand Italian, but the song just sounds great to me and I hope my mix-version here carries that over
Lovely track
(I'm sure this band is cool, they sound like it, so getting to work with this song was great. Thanks guys )
Technically I just want to add that I used a plugin of my own design, to balance the kick's wave-form, which I found only used about 2/3 of the full wave-space (It only peaked into one side, which I straightened out so it peaks equally to both sides)
The plugin "Otto" does that. Maybe somebody is interested in such a plugin. In that case you can find it here: https://jelstudio.dk/JELSTUDIO_software.html
Hi there, good sound of guits, bass.
The kick is really disconcerting, in my opinion. The click component of the sound is, I believe too prominent (louder than the snare) and very uneven. Sounds like clipping in the plugin.
I think I understood what the plugin does to the waveform, but to the audio... not sure.
The hard pan of the guits is also disconcerting. In the headset (90% of any listening experience) the bridge riff leaves an hole in the "other" ear.
I would try to glue things up on the guits with a mono amb reverb panned opposite to the guit sound. I would also pan not 100%, say 80% max.
The snare is a little dry, a plate reverb + reverb eq would help also here to beef it up in a controlled way.
Not much to say on voxes, try just a little louder, and try to get some space filling with the aaaah's and mmmmmh's through wider panning.
Just my 2 cents.
cheers!
