Zwiepack - Summertime Jazzzzclub club club mix
#1
Yeah, jazz is my thing.

pretty satisfied with this mix.

To tell you one ingredient: made a separate reverb/delay channel and ducked it with one of the dry sax mic channels.
I hardly ever compress or limit any dynamics in jazz while dynamics is what jazz essentially is.
Next to that I threw away the room channels, while in my opinion room channels suck Big Grin (I make my own room channels hehehe)

Cheers,
Luc

Update 17-Jan-2016: Replaced with identical but dryer, less wet in reverb, version

Cheers,
Luc

Very enjoyable Luc. Your approach looks to be similar to how I went about it. I really like the tone of the bass but it's stereo image is sounding a bit strange with headphones. It's like the low notes are slightly left of stage and the higher notes are moving over to the right. Only a minor distraction. Great mix.

Hi Dave,

Thank you for your comments Blush

You have very well trained ears Big GrinWink

Fact is that I wanted to present a true jazz combo like a combo jamming in an empty hall, where the bass is a bit offset (offset in higher frequencies) to the left, to give an idea of the position of the bass player. In fact the bass lower energy / volume and even dynamics are for more panned to the right, but what a listener notices is that the bass comes from the left. At the end the frequency span 1KHz/5Khz+ of the bass is to slightly notice on the left side.

I didn't pay attention to phasing differences, while the nature of jazz one takers in general is that there is much bleed which is not a terrible thing, just take advantage on the bleed.

I'm convinced the most wise thing is to leave the room channels out of the mix completely and create your own room spatial creating out of the non room tracks.

Anyhow thats my way of mixing jazz one takers, I think a big part has to do with taste I think, don't you agree? Thats what creating mixes is making so challenging.

Thanks again for your input.

Cheers,
Luc

Right you are Luc, taste and influence is so important. You only have to listen to jazz recordings up to present day to see how wide and varied they come especially with panning. Some of my favourite recordings are presented in mono which for me, doesn't degrade from the listening experience at all. It has been really nice listening to all the different mixes of this tune. Only Sax, Bass, Drums and ambience yet so much variation.
Challenging and Fun.
