Lindy Hip Big Band: 'Makin' Whoopee'

[Dangerous]

Thanks Roy. I might lift the vocal a dB when I update the mix. There is some clashing with the piano and brass at times also that I don't like. I think I'll have a go at automating the piano volume though the song to help it marry into the performance. It's worth a try.

I personally think that vocal sits very well in the mix, brass instruments are pretty loud so the fact that the vocal doesnt stand out to much is good with me.

Regarding the piano, I like mine (in songs like this) to be a bit more mellow, but you do you. But I have the feeling that some lower piano frequencies are clashing with the Brass.

But other than that this mix is great !

You could be right, I did try to present it to be clear and to be heard. In doing so, it does set it up to clash with the vocal performance. A more mellow approach as an accompaniment would have allowed it sit a bit better perhaps. This could untangle it from the lower brass freqs also. Something I'm sure to experiment with.

Thanks for the insight.
