Kat Wright - By My Side

[Frej]

Great musicians, but a poor vocal recording.

[Steef]

Very good and steady mix.

The horn section is too far out of the mix for me and sounds a bit drier than the rest of the mix.
And indeed, especially the backing vocals are not really great. In my mix (https://discussion.cambridge-mt.com/show...?tid=41506)
I tried to tighten it up.

Again, good mix!

Thanks for taking a listen to my mix. I'll send some feedback on yours as well.

I had a compressor on the horn section that helped holding it in place, but I removed it last minute because I didn't like how it changed the sound. After listening to your mix I feel like I should clean up my mix. The bleed is really messing up my sounds, especially the drums. These recordings are really tricky to mix. It's hard to improve something without making something else worse.
