Hi,
My name is Thomas.
I'm new on this forum so this is my first mix.
I have choose Signe Jakobsen- What have you done to me.
In my opinion i thought this was a hard song to mix because of some elements who was badly recorded. But i have tried the best i can to make it sound good.
I would be happy for feedback
Okay, so here is what i have done mixing this track.
1: The first thing i always do is to import the track and make a rough mix just to listen how its sound with all the raw track.
Im cleaning all useless noise ( breathe-guitarnoise-etc...)
2:Then I always starts with the drum. In this case i was replacing the Kick and the snare with my own samples. because the kick was flamming and the snare didnt fill out in the mix and was to much blending from the other drums.
I have used all drum track including the tom track to make a more roomy sound.
The singel drum track is not so heavy compressed but i make a aux track to send the whole drumtrack for compressing hardly and blend it together with the original.
No FX to the kit.
3: then i take the bass guitar, nothing special with this. A CLA bass plugin and some some EQ and then a comp. It was difficult to get the bass sounding good so i dont push it to hard in the mix. I have done some parallel compress in the chorus with bass and kick to make the kick make trough.
4: Guitars. I removed the intro fuzzy guitar and start the song where the clean guitars and vocal starts.
I didnt like the other melody leadguitar from the chorus so i didnt used that ether
A little bit of compression on all guitars and some EQ thing. nothing special. Yeah and a line 6 pod farm spring reverb to make it more natural.
5: Nothing special with the keys. A little bit of EQ.
6: vocals. So many things here!! I dont remember but i didnt used all the vocalstrack here. Trying to get the lead the best i can and then filled it out with the choir. Vocals is difficult! Please give me some advice here. I used a LA3 and a little bit of EQ, one reverb and 2 delays. Not shure if its to hard in the mix. Let me know
7: Have done some volume and fx automation on all of the tracks before printing the final tracks.
8: used a oxford limiter at the final.
Please give me feedback or message me for any questions.
