I was very excited to mix this music as it's very rich and recorded well. This is the first mix I've done where I've really focused on EQ cutting rather than boosting.
Areas of Focus
* Rhodes - Gave it a little more of an organ flair. I find it helps this instrument not to get lost in both mid sections.
* Electric Guitar 4 Accent - Wanted this unique sound to be uniquely localized in binaural. Please listen on headphones.
* Electric Guitar 1 - I use a decent amount of automation on the lead guitar. While I keep it forward, I also wanted the other instruments to shine too at various parts.
* Lead Vocal - I don't think it ever gets lost in the mix... went for an 80's sounding reverb and delay. Eighties music is back, yeah?
* Background Vocals - It was easy for these voices to sound 'heavy'. I worked hard to keep clarity for these very low male vocals.
Let me know your thoughts? What's good? What's less good?
