way too much-Fatykyte
#1
I spent a few weeks, maybe more, to learn a couple things I wanted to learn, phase and pumping. They sounded similar to my ears and I wanted to learn to be able to tell the difference, a vital skill to have as a mixer, imo.
They say "practice makes perfect" and "the devil is in the details". Armed with those in mind I dug deep on this mix. I find that my mix improves quite a bit each time I learned something.
What I found with getting rid of phase and control the pumping from the compressor in a mix likened to cleaning the window. The view becomes clearer and one can see more details. A lack of phase cancellation and pumping helped me hear instruments better leading to better moves. I highly recommend learning it.
* Thanks to Roy for being kind enough to send me some material about phase. It contributes to my mix. My mix owes its life to all of you. I participated but mostly reactive. I am still learning, for there's just too much to learn in this business, right? But I do have all the intention to ride this one out, all the way, no matter what. Thanks, man.

Hey man, Nice mix! those drums sound MUCH more clear and punchy. The time you spent has paid dividends.
There were a couple of ideas that came to mind. more in the mix polishing vain.
The vocal seemed a bit loud on the first verse.
I don't know if you do this but I felt maybe the drum bus volume could be automated.
Down on the verses and up on the choruses. sometimes it doesn't take much, even a 0.5 db can be noticable.
Maybe Automate the drum room up some on the last chores? Push up the drum fills in spots or push up some of the 1 beats. IDK just thinking out loud.
I feel that would help the energy to build. Anyways great work!
Cheers
