Hurray For The Riff Raff: 'Living In The City' kapu mix

[kapu]

V2 is clearly better, Kapu! [...]

thanks for extensive feedback and ideas!

in the first version i played around adding low end to kick with resonating filter, too much. rolled it back for second version.

the mix is static, so there is no differences or automation changes between parts in the mix. took the live venue v-soundcheck style approach. but i recognize the issue with chorus not sounding bigger enough. i was thinking about automating the keyboards to make chorus bigger and vice versa, but its probably the hihats highs thats missing from chorus.

im not sure i understand the mid side karaoke statement. if you mean the backing vocals being panned and lead being center, that was just a 'reflex' to what should i do with these. i didnt feel comfortable with the performance on backing vocals, so i just kinda opened them as little as possible. i was thinking about monoing them and driving them through a doubler chorus type of effect, which worked nicely with the reggae song added for this month.

but it has probably already taken more time for me to write this response than mixing the song, so if i do new version i try to do better job. again, thanks for your time and feedback. ^_^
