Hey yo, I'd appreciate your thoughts on this mix. "Finished" a few days ago, but spent two days or so going over master bus stuff, and fiddling with the limiting, tying to squeeze some extra db's out... but it actually come out a touch quieter than normal. I tried leaving more room on the limiter (in terms of how much gain reduction is happening) for the purpose of uploading to Soundcloud. I also printed it to .wav instead of normal mp3, like usual. Finally, the snare has a limiter, which would have allowed me to turn it up even more, without too much happening on the limiter, but I didn't want to overdo it this time. Ready to move on to the next song in the queue.
This song is a couple years old, but with my relatively new equipment, I thought I would try an updated rendition. Plus, [MENTION=187056]JohnnyAmato[/MENTION] asked to hear it... and I gladly obliged.
Vocals - $79 sterling st51 condenser, SSL-EQ, CLA 1176, LA-2A, Tal-Dub delay
guitars - Gibson Studio Gothic 01', Digitech GNX3000 (Marshall 900 & AC15 sims), SSL-EQ, CLA 1176
bass - Squire P-Bass, GNX3000 (ampeg through ash8x10), CLA 1176, TSE BOD, API 560, DC1A2
drums - Superior Drummer 3, NY Avatar kit with Nir-Z custom snare, API 560, API 2500
2buss - Scheps Omni Channel, Luftikus EQ, API 2500, SSL-EQ, stock limiter
There are lots of other stock EQ's tucked in there, but those are the main plugins. Reverb is Voxengo's old skool verb on bright studio preset with a couple modifications. A lot of the noise at the end is just me turning on the mic and knocking stuff over in the office
For the guys who have heard previous tunes on Soundcloud that I've posted - how do the cymbals sound here? I kept the limiter threshold at -1.3, as opposed to the -0.2 that I usually set it at. This was supposed to make a difference with how SoundCloud handles clipping/distortion as well as high end. What do you think?
