The aim of the mix was to make every instrument clear to find in the mix and to give a vintage sound as expected for the genre. To do this I mostly used analog emulations and a top down and bass heavy mixing approach. DRUMS: On the drum bus I used an API 2500 compressor emulation from Lindell and a ...

Hi, for this review I implemented all of Benji suggestions, in particular: Enhanced Snare transient attack whilst making it take less space in the mix. Kick and cymbals presence increased. More hi-end to guitars after selecting the more musical boost (Acustica Eminence 7k node). Bass tone slightly r...

All eq tasks are done with the Lindell 20 channel strip for broad strokes (after compression) and MDynamicEq, mostly before compression DRUMS Kick: the usual low-mids cleaning, a bit of compression with the Neve emulation in the Melda MTurbCompressor Snare: high-passing the snare bottom to leave the...

I didn't expect to find a prog-rock piece here and here we are. Fun but challenging job. DRUMS: kick and snare gating, otherwise Focusrite channel strip on each track used for color and eq, 1176 and dbx-160 emulations used for compression BASS: mostly shaping and compression via LA-2A emulation GUIT...

Top-down mix with a old school console style approach with Lindell 50 channel (espanded API 550 emulation) on all channels, supported with MDynamicEq when needed. Compressors used where mostly analog emulations by IK Multimedia and Plugin-Alliance. DRUMS: Fattening the kick and shaping drums mostrly...

Basically followed Jeroen suggestions: Added a db of volume to the choruses and added width to the guitars in the choruses Lowered vocal loudness in the bridge Additional balancing/cleaning, a bit more fatness to guitars, definition to keyboard parts and more cleaning to cymbals spill in drums track...

Hi all! This mix effort was focus especially on cleaning the drums from cymbals bleedings and fixing some groowing things in the guitar riffs, otherwhise the sounds where good and the playing likewise. MASTER: Black Box set to bright and saturate the whole track (lowering the density a bit). Then so...

Some eq shaping with MDynamicEq on every drums, no compression...

Being a rock lover myself the song was a pleasure to mix 🤘🏼 My process now is kind of top-down aproach starting with light master v-shaped eq and Melda MwaveShaper (for a better, oversampled, inflator) to start with a dynamic and eq curve closer to my goal. Then drums, bass, guitars and vocals on to...

My entry Once again I used the Brauer busses aproach, this time with better gain staging.This gave instant fatness and control. On Brauer busses all compressors were IK Multimedia and Brainworx, on single tracks all compressors where Melda TurboComp and ToneBoosters for eq. Most of the work on drum...
