Hello everyone.

For this mix I mainly focus on the voice track, and from that track I add the rest of the racks and construct the mix.
Acoustic Guitar:
- I used a Bertom Denoiser for clean the background and ground noise on the track
- I make an post fader send to an auxiliar where I used Doubler2 with some delays and detune for make a wide and a rich sound that sum to the mono Guitar.
- The output of the track of the Ac. Guitar and the auxiliary with the doubler goes into an auxiliary where I used a Pro Q3 to cut low frequencies (areound 140Hz) and some dynamics EQing with an sidechain Signal (from the chello) in order to resalt the main frequencies of the chello without cut the low mid to the guitar and some boost reinforcement on 750Hz and 4K Hz.
- I also made some volume and panning automations in some parts of the entire track.
- And an extra send to the Reverb Auxiliary 1.
Chello:
- I used a Pro Q3 for made some sustractive & additive EQing, not something exaggerated (someting aroun +3 - 3 dB), on 142Hz (boost - mid-closed Q), 404Hz (cut, closed Q), 2.5KHz (cut - open Q).
- I used the Autopanner from Protools in order to give some movement that accompany the movement of the cello strings, it was a width of 13, sine LFO with a rate of 34.
- I also used a CLA2A to control and turn up the volume in some parts of the track.
Chello Pizz:
- I just made some volume and panning automations.
Piano:
- I used a CLA2A for reduce some peaks and turn up the volume in some parts of the track.
- I also made some volume automations.
- And an extra send to the Reverb Auxiliary 1.
Strings Piz:
- I just made some volume and panning automations.
Violin (1 + 2):
- I process the tracks of violins into an auxiliary track.
- I used A ProC2 for reduce some peaks and turn up the volume in some parts of the track, its important to say that I used a mid soft knee, fast attack and mid release and a little of hold, oversamplig x2.
Lead Vocal:
- I start with the Clip Gain tool for Protools, with some gain adjustments getting the context of all the rest of tracks, I reduce de ese's and some.
- I used a ProQ3 for made some normal and dynamic sustractive & additive EQing ir order to clean the some weird frecuencies, cut low frecuencies, control the nasal sound (around 1150Hz).
- I used a Pro-DS to finish the control of the ese's.
- I used a CLA2A for reduce some peaks and normalize the entire track.
- I used an extra ProQ3 with an bypass automation in order to clean some harsh sound that were hearble on some specific times in the track.
- I add some reverb and delay by send (I explain this on the FX Sends Section).
- And I also add 2 extra layers with a post fader send to 2 auxilaries:
* One with an Abbey Road Saturator to add some extra harmonics and power to the voice
* And another one with a Doubler2 doing more or less the same parameters and objective that in the guitar... more wideness and presence. -> This auxiliary has 2 sends, to Reverb1 and Reverb2 .
FX Send:
All the auxiliary effects had an EQ3-1Band with a low cut on 100Hz at the start of the process chain.
1. Reverb 1
- I used a Pro R with some Large Room setting cutting again the low frecuencies (1.06 s) .
2. Reverb 2
- I used a Pro R with some Chamber setting (1.45 s) .
3. Reverb 3
- I used a Pro R with some Plate setting cutting again the low frecuencies (2.03 s).
- And also I used a the D3 ExpGate from Protools to control the ending of the reverb.
4. Delay
- I used a ModDelay 3 from Protools with whites reps, sync to tempo, 30% of feedback.
Mix Bus:
- A Oz9VTape to get some tape harmonics in the entire mix.
- An dbx-160 to get some glue on the entire mix (only 2 or 3 dB of compression).
- An Schep Parallel Particles to add some warm on wide frequency ranges (mid high freq range).
Thanks,
Dave
It's also spread out a little with S1. That's basically it.
