What i did? I Stumbled and fumbled
First off, i liked the feel of the song even if it's a bit off tempo wise.
I mix only on computer on this, Logic Pro 9 Waves and UAD-1 plugs. Waves SSL-Channel on almost every channel since i like the sound and i have gotten some kind of used to them, and i also prefer to mix with my ears and not my eyes as i tend to do if i use a graphic eq. I'm not saying that my ears are any good at it
I struggled a bit with the kick until i found the sound i was looking for in the room track, on the kick i use SSL-channel, low cut at 50 Hz and a slight boost at 80 Hz, a little gate. I also use the 1176LN comp to get some punch and control of the signal. Here i don't want to much klick, only as much to hear it in the mix without boosting the level to much.
Same setup on the snare, a little boost at 300 Hz and quite a cut at 450 Hz a little boost at 1.7 and 8 Khz. Some RVerb plate.
Same setup on the toms, gated a bit and boosted top and bottom in them. 1176LN comp.
Overhead SSL again a slight boost at 80Hz 3 and 8 Khz, a tiny bit comp from the SSL. Panned -53/+53
On the Drum room i only used the 1176LN comp and squeezed it together with quite fast attack and release.
Bass-Di i inserted an amp sim from wabes GTR and again the 1176LN comp
On the acoustics i used the SSL-Chan and waves Q8 eq since i heard some annoying (to me) sounds. I cut hard and narrow at 160Hz since i heard/felt some rumbling in the left acoustic.
The right i used the same approach since i heard the same in a open chord loose string 440Hz.
Panned -27/+27
E-guitar, SSL Channel again
Waves GTR and a delay stomp. Panned Center
Piano, do need the spell it?
SSL slightly boosted from 800Hz and up...kinda..and some reverb, Waves Rverb, high passed at 300Hz and cut above 4K. Panned -23/+23
Vox Female/Male DeEsser, SSL and UAD LA-2A comp. Panned-5/+5 some automation. Some vocalplate verb DeEssed and lowcut.
On the Master bus i use Logic's Multipressor and Waves L3.
I was looking for something separated and not muffled and struggling, lacking other words
Kinda thinking of Sting (Mercury falling) even though i don't have the skills to take it there.
