Fergussen "Nos Palpitants"

[davemcg61]

This tune is hard, I literally can't! You made a pretty good job in sculpturing an epic "battle horn" ladscape, Dave. Vocals are pretty much where they should and that couldn't be easy, I just can't understand how the band got such meticulous guitar recordings and then put that squashed miserably distorted vocal in there (maybe on purpose, as a test for aspiring mixers?). Kudos for making the hat bearable (it sounds almost pretty) and really imposing badass kickdrum (just a little too loud here over headphones) and really balanced and natural acoustic sound. Only thing I think could improve this would be to pan the main electric piano closer to the center, so there's some more weight there (at least once the drums come in). But really great sound nonetheless, I'm gonna have to put my mean face on to get close to this!

Thanks for listening, Deliza. Coming close to what I heard in the video was a challenge. I do recall using a de-esser on the overheads and confirmed the stock Logic plug-in was used. I just went and checked the folder and found I haven't touched this since last September. I think I'll give this another whirl this weekend. Maybe I can get the kick to fit the mix better.
