Hello there,
This is my first post on this wonderful site and forum.
This is my mix of this lush song, it is the first none metal track I have attempted and my 4th overall mix ever (I'm a noob). This must have been expertly recorded as the files just slotted in perfectly and, although I was enjoying the music, wondered what actually needed doing, my inexperience perhaps? I basically tried a few things for the first time I have read about, such as parallel compression and edited a few things here and there. I also adapted some of the thing I learned mixing metal tracks at home but also resisted the temptation to re-amp the guitars through Amplitube Metal LOL. I tried to make it sound like I would want this wonderful song to sound like however, I may in future do a mix without the synths, as fantastic as they are! I am most proud of leaving the reverb off one track of the whispered vocals, so that it is though she is whispering in your ear! I also tried to do a spot of mastering too and I think I have learned a lot doing mixing this. Thanks for the chance to do this, I enjoyed it.
