KICK: VCC CHANNEL, F-5 HF 7.5 +14DB 387HZ -15DB, CS LIFT PRESENT 7.5, PUNCHY 8.5, FG 401 SLOW ATTACK FAST RELEASE 3 TO 5 DB OF COMPRESSION, but the kick was missing something, not being able to reinforce it with a sample, I chose to make a match eq to a sample I had around and make the kick sound as similar as possible to that sample.
SNARE: I SENT BOTH TO A BUS TO PROCESS THEM TOGETHER, VTM, VCC CHANNEL, HF 5.7 7DB COMPRESSION SIMILAR TO THE KICK, I ALSO DID SOME TWEAKS WITH THE SC LIFT.
TOMS: SAME PROCESSING AS KICK BUT A LITTLE LESS AGGRESSIVE
CYMBALS: VCC CHANNEL, CS LIFT TO WHAT THE KNOBS GAVE ME AND TRIMMING THE LOW END.
OH AND ROOM: SAME AS SYMBALS BUT WITHOUT CLIPPING THE LOW END
BASS: ONE TRACK WITH THE BASS AMP, AND THE DI I PUT IT IN 2 TRACKS, I LEFT ONLY THE LOW ZONE OF THE BASS AMP, THE BASS DI I LEFT ONLY FROM 200HZ ONWARDS AND THE COPY OF THE BASS DI I STRONGLY DISTORTED IT, THEN I MIXED THE 3 SIGNALS COMPRESSED WITH A LA3A BETWEEN 7 TO 10DB THEN I EQUALIZED BY EAR UNTIL I LEFT IT ACCORDING TO MY CRITERIA AS CLOSE TO THE BASS OF THE REFERENCE TRACK I CHOSE FOR THE SOUND OF THIS INSTRUMENT, STRONGLY INCREASING THE HIGH AND MIDDLE ZONE.
GUITARS: I EQUALIZED THEM TO LEAVE THE BASS AND THE TREBLE AT THE SAME LEVEL, AND 1 TO 3 DB OF COMPRESSION, I LEFT THEM AS FLAT AS POSSIBLE, THEN I MADE A HOLE AT 360HZ.
LEAD VOX: VCC CHANNEL, HF 7.5HZ -3DB, CS LIFT PRESENT AND PUNCHY AT 8, 1176 RELEASE 7 ATTACK 5 OVER 10DB OF COMPRESSION, THEN I USED CLA VOCALS JUST FOR THE EFFECTS, TIGHT, QUARTER AND STEREO, WHICH IS WHAT I SAW CLA USE IN A MIX OF I DON'T REMEMBER WHO,
VOCAL HARMONIES, I DIDN'T TOUCH THEM, JUST TIGHT COMPRESSION AND EFFECTS.
ON THE STRINGS I AUTOMATED A PARALLEL COMPRESSION FOR THE KICK AND SNARE, I ALSO USED A REVERB ROOM FOR THE KIT AND A PLATE FOR THE SNARE AND TOMS, A REFLECTIVE REVERB FOR THE BASS.
ON THE MIX BUSS I USED A CLA PRESET CONSISTING OF A VCC MIXUSS, CS-EQ 15K +2DB, 400HZ -1.4DB, FG-RED WITH THE CLA ROCK HP PRESET TO WHICH I ADJUSTED THE THRES TO HAVE A COMPRESSION OF ABOUT 3DB AS CLA DOES.
IT'S THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN SO AGGRESSIVE WITH EQUALIZERS AND COMPRESSORS IN A MIX, AND THE TRUTH IS I WAS SURPRISED HOW FAST ALL THE PIECES CAME TOGETHER, I WANTED TO DO THE MIX THIS WAY JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY CLA MIXES, I HOPE YOU LIKE IT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SHARING!!!!
ONE MORE THING, EXCEPT FOR THE BASS I USED A GREEN DAY SONG AS REFERENCE FOR THE REST OF THE MIX I DECIDED TO USE HELENA FROM MY CHERMICAL ROMANCE.
