Lyndsey Ollard - Catching Up (Hein-Ivan Mix)
#1
A nice song, but I had a little challenge to get the vocals to sit properly in the mix! Feedback?

V2 some changes!

Hi!

Really a very nice mix. I like the little moments of ear candy of the acoustic guitar, etc in the right speaker - like around the 1:28 mark. Magic.

Yeah the vocals are (always?) tough to get right. (Actually it's all tough to get right but I digress...) I figure this song is all about the singer and the vocals, so I agree with it being a vocal up mix. Others might disagree, but I think you can make a good case for a vocals up mix here. You really do want to hear all the details of a good vocal in a song like this.

Maybe just a touch too much reverb (again!) for my taste, but this is actually the kind of song that calls for it I guess. I think for me, I like to just catch the sense of space of the reverb off the louder notes of the vocal, and guitars etc, maybe, if that makes sense?

Anyway I particularly enjoyed this mix a lot. Excellent work.

Oh, I think there was quite a lot to sort out arrangement wise with this session, and I think you've done a really good job with that aspect too.

Cheers!
Just uploaded a mix/master?  Waiting for comments? Why not give back and critique a mix/master, or two!
