Probably a bit of everything -- might be as easy to do it on the master bus. Q On 01/05/13 22:32, James Stone wrote:
Thanks for listening, and thanks for the comments.. I will continue tweaking :) What were you thinking I could cut low-mids from?

It has taken me ages to get round to finishing it, because I was having real troubles coming up with some drums that fitted the song OK. This is the current version, mixed in Mixbus. I would appreciate any thoughts on the song, and also the mix. https://soundcloud.com/__jmstone/roughmix2/download/s-__qgo8P <https://soundcloud.com/jmstone/roughmix2/download/s-qgo8P> James Hi Just had a listen to this and it sounds pretty nice as it stands. You could probably clear out the low mids a little to improve clarity, but don't overdo it or you'll lose too much warmth. The vocal drops in and out a bit, especially early on (I think it's probably the lower register bits that are most affected). I guess it'd probably be better to automate the volume rather than compress, although some light compression mightn't go astray. The guitar has a tendency to overpower the vocal as well, but it might be okay once the vocal level is higher, but if not, maybe EQ the guitar a bit to reduce the clash. The main guitar solo (from 3.10) needs to be more upfront I'd say, lose a lot of the reverb and it'd be a lot better. Perhaps use some delay to make it big without pushing it into the background like the reverb's doing. It's a bit thin sounding as well and the level a bit inconsistent. It's a pleasant sounding piece, nice and mellow. Nice playing and the singer's got a good voice. However, with not being able to infer any emotional intensity from the vocals, it all sounds a bit flat, on the same level -- the piece could do with some contour to it, a sense of building and releasing in the music.
