Come Around - mix by Dags

[kostas]

LOL! No prizes to the person who correctly guesses what time it is as I attempt uploading version 3

I pulled out a couple of quite severe fixes for the wayward bass in this song including pulling out a pile of frequencies using multiple EQ scoops, two (count 'em - two) optical-type compressors to keep all the levels under control, a bitcrusher for parallel distortion *and* a compressor to duck the bass when the kick comes in (thanks for pointing that out, Xabi!!)

I also attempted getting my track a bit louder than my other ones (Gadget and Artbass have set my benchmark for good sounding loud mixes based on the ones I have listened to so far) using a couple of compressors set at different thresholds to gently bring the peaks under control then a limiter to stop overs. So apologies to the listener in advance if the first notes startle you when the song starts.



Xabi, thanks again so very much for taking the time to listen to the first two attempts and providing me with such detailed and helpful feedback as to what I should be looking to do to improve the mix(es) of the song. This is *exactly* what I have been needing to encourage me to delve further into getting the best from what I have available to me. Up until learning about the existence of this forum I haven't had anyone to help identify the flaws I need to focus on fixing when my attention is usually on another part of the song

Righty-o - off to bed!
