Mix Challenge

Hello @GmfSongs, thanks so much for considering me, I'm surprised and had to do some planned work and appointments regarding household and garden. You seem to work even harder than we fellows here.. :) :) So, we seem to proceed with more and more details, which leads to a situation of trade-offs, if...

Greetings to @GmfSongs, very happy to be part of this! Thanks for your remarks, here is my update: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GV0FUedNOjgSUDag2v1QQXqoQ9It1J6q/view?usp=sharing Your detailed suggestions were also a great learning motivation. All remarks were addressed one way or the other, so I...

I probably got it on black friday for around 30 bucks or less with vouchers. it is very handy when I start with my own presets and throw it on several channels to see what comes up.

thanks so much and carry on happy mixing!

not sure if you like my snare sound but this is what I do: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nJKwmF2_-xM3yqPx2xqdx_PYXOFHmpG-/view?usp=sharing you can demo the lindell, hornet channel and SN05G are free, Ariesverb is ancient 32bit and was free. its point is bizarre modulation that mimicks changes in ...

@Clueless your way of organizing the dynamics was not bad at all. You had the singer sit in the small bathroom which might be legit according to the meaning of the song. Still, sonically unusual. the other thing to examine is different types of snares, what to do to make them fat and carrying the rh...

I wish we can get a lot of mix critique this time, that includes symptoms of poor gain staging, if there are any.

For this song, I think many mixes have too much compression. My DAW has faders and meters available as if they were plugins and I can put as many in a channel as I want, and meters can be switched. I look at the recording first. Some artists record really hot, exp. vocals, some deliver their tracks ...

I'm wondering myself with how much I can get away. :hyper: Declicker did run with low latency mode. Wish I had the decrackle also. I should automate the De-Esser more diligently, for a couple of sentences there is an issue. The vocal mic can sound a bit scratchy. Would be interesting to read some co...

(a beautiful piano attack is only hard when you hit the instrument hard, and it evolves strongly and very alive through the whole tail -- for such a mix, 3 seconds should have to be in the ballpark - there are samples around that aren't doing this right). @Clueless true, but in case, you can let TDR...
