Adam Buckley: 'Drag Me Down' mixed in Presonus Studio One

[jameswoo]

Thanks to Adam Buckley for sharing the multitracks! Very nice song and good arrangement.

I got the Slate Everything Bundle during the Black Friday sale and experimented with some of the plug-ins in this mix.

Hope to hear your comments and feedback!

Solid balance in your mix

The only thing that jumps out at me is the snare. Sounds very dry. Reverb would be really nice so it doesn't sound so lonely. Perhaps less bottom mic on it. Didn't check the phase on the bottom snare to be honest so i'm not sure if it had the polar switched on when recorded.

Cool mix.

Well congats on the new slate bundle I don’t own any but have heard a lot of good things about them though.
I like the direction you went by not pushing the heavier GT as much. Like the cymbal sound. Would of liked to hear a little
more of a Fx on the GT picking part in the chorus personal taste though. Also may could have started to push the heavier GT
At the 2.54 mark just to push the song along some just a thought. Overall nice mix hopes this helps.
