When I was comparing the tracks in the mastering challenges that I attended (back in the day), I found it helpful to have a track of pink noise close at hand. At the same loudness as the masters I was comparing.

hey, thanks for the opportunity mixing this nice song. i tried to go for a controlled, cosy and cohesive sound. I used parallel compression to get the rhythm-section to interact with each other to create a nice groove. For the vocals i wanted some crooner-like vibe, i felt he has the voice for it. ...

What's up everyone! Great mixing challenge this month, I really enjoyed this song :phones: The majority of the work here was focused on the vocals and drum kit.

Did some edits on the drum fill after the break that didnt have any close mics. Used the Waves Reel ADT on double and harmony. No limiter on th...
