I checked out the 'Final' mix. Sounds really good. I have some minor nitpicks but nothing worth noting. There's an overall tone that I like about this mix that I can't put my finger on. I'm not sure if it's an overall hint of saturation or specific eq or a touch of nutmeg but I like it.Its a touch of spicey sauce lol glad you like it Roy,would like to know the nitpicks though!
(Also, I'm usually not one to g.a.f. about "stars" at all but none of these are one-star mixes)
Honestly, I re-listend (not a word) and I'm not sure what my nitpicks were now. I think maybe some peaks on the vocal (some notes just stab out. I think it's both the dynamic mic (I think) and mic technique) and maybe wanting more space on the horns. Everything feels kinda in your face and I think I want the horns to be 'forte' and dynamic (two different concepts, I know) but also a step behind the vocal. I want to feel like the horns excite a space and that to dictate the volume and force of the horns. It that makes sense. I might be over thinking it.
I also just realized I wrote that before falling asleep and it's really poorly worded and full of typos. I suppose I could fix it but I'm lazy. The general idea comes across.
It doesn't have to sound good. People just need to think it sounds good.
