here is my mix to this contest. hope you all enjoy it
this is what i use and why
Red 2 EQ on almost all the tracks
I make the vox, drums, and rythm guitar track as my priority, I dont want another extra tracks covering up my priority track space
LA2A model from studio one fat channel on the vox track
because itās so dynamic (especialy the screaming part before lead guitar )
red light distortion on lead guitar
I have no idea abaut this but i love it
drawmer s73 on my drum bus
i love to hear more on kick and snare track
Tsar 1R, tube delay, and MPXi lexicon (all free bundle from my interface )
just love it, and make sure the FX not covering up my entire work iāve done
waiting for any critics about my mix, or anyone have a question? iāll response ASAP
You did a good job controlling that monster kick, but it sounds like there was a mid-scoop done to this whole mix. Thereās too much going on in the low treble, and thereās not enough going on in the bottom. Also, the guitar solo doesnāt sound very impactful at all, itās kind of buried behind the main guitar. Also it sounds like thereās some distortion going on with the vocals. I donāt like the glitch cymbals at all, but thatās more of an artistic thing than a mixing problem. It sounds like you went a little overboard with the EQ, Iād dial it back some brother.
I use a saturation knob on the vocal to make it cut trough the mix. But maybe i push it too much.
Btw I never hear the original song btwā¦ i hear it when i finish the mix. And i realize that i treat the song wrong hahaha
Mine is too bright, drums is way too punch. The original is so dark, but keeping the ambience clean, and its more match with the type of the song.
Hi! I agree with @CPF about distortion on vocals, hi mids too present and bottom lacking. I also can hear the background noise on guitars. However what I like in your mix is that the vocal is clearly the star and the story is well told. I enjoyed the song despite those little observations, so thatās cool.
Niceā¦ The verb is nice! A bit too saturated for me. the gtr could pan away from the middle. A lil bright, if you tame the brightness you get back some warmth. Itās just a balance thing.
Hey, cool job you did.
I really like what you did with drums, it gives the song another behaviour and I found it works pretty well. The reversed sample works well to me.
I agree with previous replies about EQ on vocals, it pushes the lead vocal back in the mix where sheās merely whispering in ears.
By the way, nothing really wrong to me, only matter of tastes.
Nice job!
pretty good. I am not a fan of too bright in general but i appreciate it when it is appropriate. I find that this mix goes a little beyond that an is a little crisp. I think though had you not pushed the vocal so hard it would not have been such an issue. Nicely done really. Thanks for sharing.
Hi there.
Nice balanced mix in general.
A lot of reverb on main vox for my taste. Especially on the verses. Could use automation.
I like the backing vox sound but Iād let them have 1-2 db more.
Iād prefer the solo guitar a bit louder.
I can also hear backround noise on guitars.
the mix is a bit distorted ! Lead vocal track has to much hi mid.
Btw the balance is good, reverbs too.
Just try to calm down some faders or gain buttons.
Listening to your first mix. Really nice tone on the guitar and on her vocal. The delay you have on there sounds good, but I think there is too much because it gets a little distracting to me and fights with the vocal.
The glitch cymbal is too loud. It sounds like a click track. This is one of the first mixes where the yell going into the solo didnāt bother me. Youāve got it EQed and leveled just right. Sounds good! So yeah, the only real issues I have is the āglitch-clickā and the delay - both minor things. And you nailed THE main thing which is her vocal track. Nicely done!
