A pretty straight-forward funk drone. I took my primary key from the room mics for the drums and extended that into a larger space to get a good live feel. I also put a buss compressor on my stereo mix buss and mixed into that (something I do not often do), again for a more live feel. I think I got something nice and funky with a pulse and some drive.
Let me know what you think.
There was some cleanup to do after reading comments and after a night to sleep on it. Tendered here are the morning after results.
I took a lot of heat for the reverb on the snare so I've addressed that by cleaning up the snare sound and slightly modifying the low pass on the reverb return. For the Hammond Haters out there I have smoothed out the level of the organ. I took a few pounds off the bass guitar to clarify it and the lead guitar was widened by detuning each mic by a few cents, one up, one down and placing it in a discreet reverb with a longer tail and rounder character. I hope you like the 'improvements'.
Having not listened for a while I stepped back into this mix with a fresher ear and took a new approach to the lead guitar, softening it but making it much bigger with the ensemble playing through the new lead sound effectively. I hope you like it. And as always, comments are appreciated.
Happy Mixing,
