Organic Hippie-Folk mix
#1
Here's my take on this fresh and honest sounding track ...

I tried to keep an live, organic happy-hippie feel, especially with the ambience treatment to Vox and instruments (reminiscent of mid-60s and early 70s folk-pop songs).

As usual, comments and critiques welcome Wink

Cheers,

Clinton

Oh yes.
I like your wide vocal ambience in this mix from the moment it starts. Good choice.

The bass is getting a little lost, but it is still mostly audible, and probably does create a more authentic folky vibe with it not being so prominent in the mix.
I would like to hear that lovely funk guitar scratch up in the mix a little more though Smile (around 2:17 is where it really kicks in)

Good job Clinton

I feel the overall balance in this mix is pretty good. All the important elements are quite nicely audible. The LV ambience feel little trippy though.

Might be more a matter of opinion but I feel there's too much (and too compressed) snare bottom compare to snare top, which for me feels little off. But that might be because I usually use the top mic as the main snare source and the bottom adds a certain kind of flavour.

I feel that biggest issue in this mix (technic-wise) is the lead vocal's mid frequencies pumping the bus compressor. The whole mix ducks down whenever there's eehs and aahs from the LV. I'd suggest taming those ~800 Hz frequencies with some dynamic EQs to keep the mix consistent.

Hi Spede,

Thanks for your comments. I will check the stereo bus compressor settings as I dont recall any GR over 2dB or so, and definitely nothing to induce pumping... at least to my ears! I'll re-check the multiband compressor settings too while I am at it.

Thanks for pricking up my ears Wink

Cheers,

Clinton

Love how you've got the kick drum filling out the bottom end, really suits the track.
