Blues Bastards: 'Sugar'
#7
Hi!

Yeah, my thoughts are that it is a really cool track. Great arrangement, really well played and recorded. Lots of inventive parts and sounds.

Quite a lot of parts to balance and highlight (which I didn't get right at all I don't think). I was tempted to do something for the 'down' part, but thought it might be a bit obvious so decided to leave it.

I like your mix. As I said previously the things that came to mind are pretty minor. The pitch shifted vocal you did is really very cool. For me I think it would work better at one lower pitch rather than decending in pitch. That is a thought that came to mind maybe more for my taste rather than yours or anyone elses, so just suggestions that may help.. or not! - it's your mix, it's ok to disagree Smile.

Automated reverb might be cool. Not sure if an automated low pass filter would work or not also if you wanted a falling feeling? Automating increasing feedback on a delay might be interesting too. Difficult to know what might work until you try it and see if sounds good or not.

I find it difficult to get the vocal level right. For me it is just a case of playing it through and automating, etc, until nothing seems to annoy me. I felt they could come up maybe a db or so in your mix when I commented.

I really don't have any issues with the intelligibility of the vocals as such. The band has the lyrics available on their bandcamp site for anyone that follows the link on the multitrack download page in any case.

Funny, I can hear the odd guitar part that I would like to bring up a bit in your mix, but I need to work on the same for my mix and I'm not finding it so easy for some reason!

Cheers!
