MekaPhil - Timeless (Part 2) - Mix by Theo PB
#1
Wow that was a fun track to mix! I'm proud of what I made with this song. It was as much about production than mixing, giving that we can reamp the guitars and bass, adapt the MIDI drums, and even go as far as redo all synth and keys (however I kept the synths from the multitracks).

The drums in the multitracks were made with Steven Slate Drums I think. I chose instead to build a kit with Addictive Drums, which had more snap and presence. This also allowed me to change some MIDI snare and crash hits to make them sound more natural.

I reamped guitars and bass using Audio Assault ReAmp Studio with Ownhammer cabinet impulse responses.

I wanted mixing to be as efficient as possible, seeing the large amount of tracks. For that I used the Voxengo Voxformer channel strip on tracks, and some EQ/saturator on buses. I also processed the mixbus more than usual, to give more glue to the dense arrangement, and achieve the loudness expected in the genre of the song.

Howdy! I appreciate all of your lead up to the track. Meka and I enjoyed reading it and hyping ourselves up for the mix itself! There's a few things, of course that I'd tweak Wink Here we go!

-The cymbals you chose are very bright, I'd scoop 'em a bit to leave room for the dense stuff
-That chorus kicks hard. SO good! It hits the exact way I'd want. Meka LOVES the snare. I just feel like the cymbals eat up a lot of space from 4k to 8khz that leaves them stepping on stuff. Fix the cymbals, I'll be happy.
-The bridge vocals are an entire measure early. Something funky happened there.
-I like the mix of synths. The guitar tones are supes nice. I really like them.

Easily one of my favorite mixes ever of this song, aside from those little things. Thank you so much for your mix!

Also, as a fun aside, we used Reamp Studio on the album, so the tones are pretty much exactly the same haha
