ridgybeatle mix
#2
I really, really liked this mix. You've obviously worked hard on developing your skills. All the instruments sit nicely in the balance and the end result is greater than the sum of the parts. Well done!

The only thing i would say (and I'm saying it 'cos everything else is great), is that there is little in the way of long term dynamics. The final chorus level is the same as the first verse and everything else in between. In fact the opening "when we pray" level is greater than the final harmony crescendo "highway runs".

I suspect you've ridden the main stereo bus (using either compressor or manual trim), or some individual tracks, hard up against a limiter to give a constant level - and I'm guessing there's a good 5-6db sitting in the limiter. I'm probably wrong but that's what it sounds like (and looks like too).

Most guys on this forum are pretty clued up re loudness so there's no real need to post loud tracks as most folks will just turn up quieter mixes and enjoy the dynamics.

Excellent work and don't let my comments detract from the fact that i really enjoyed this mix.
