Hey guys,
I am a live sound engineer but i wanted to make myself more comfortable with Logic Pro X. So i've got myself the software and started with mixing the english actor.
In one afternoon i mixed the song and i think i made a pretty good sounding mix. There are some things i am not satisfied about yet, but i will work on that. Some things that i want to work on:
- I think the snare sounds pretty good but it isn't really consistent. I did put a compressor on it but it doesn't seem to work good enough.
- Maybe some other effects on (backing) vocals.
- I think the guitars can do better. The volume is good in my opinion but i think the defenition can be better. Maybe some EQ boost in the high end.
Things i like about the mix:
- The drum (and bass) sound. I think my drum sound is pretty fat but with enough defenition and works well with the bass guitar.
- The overall balance is quite good and consistent.
I listened to other mixes in this zone. It came to my attention that my mix sounds much more "fat" (especially the drums) than the other mixes. I really like that, but maybe thats because i am a live sound engineer and this is too much fatness for a studio mix. Oh, and i mixed this on a Sennheiser HD25 headphones. Maybe i have to listen to it on a good pair of studio monitor but that isn't possible at the moment.
Whats your opinion about my mix?
