This is a fun one from the Telefunken archives.
The vocal performance is excellent and a difficult part to perform. This song just makes me want to shake something and smile. With that in mind I undertook this mix. Bouncy and fun and made to make you listen hard. I hope you find it enjoyable to listen to.
Will Evans - Me and My Crew - Take 1
Will Evans - Me and My Crew - Take 2
I took more cues from the room mic to beef up the snare and add character to the guitar, sax and drums.
I hope you find the differences in this mix refreshing. Still trying to amplify the bounce.
Will Evans - Me and My Crew - Take 3
Well my first two masters I found to be badly distorted. Had I not put my headphones on I might never have heard it. That concerns me. Anyway, this is basically Take 2 cleaned up.
Will Evans - Me and My Crew - Take 4
One last sweep to finish this off. A little more buss compression to tighten things up and to clarify environmentals.
Will Evans - Me and My Crew - Take 5
So with an ear to the suggestions offered by other talented mixers and a desire to continue to clarify my vision, I offer up Take 5.
I modified some gain staging and increased various buss compression to bring up the environment more and to help place things in it better while still trying to maintain and enhance the bounce of the performance.
I would enjoy knowing what you think of this last iteration.
Thanks and Happy Mixing,
