As I have posted, I am mixing an EP for a band in Colorado. This is the first "close to done" track of 8 songs.
The tracks I originally received were not very good, especially the drum tracks. The snare and kick had a ton of bleed from the cymbals, and it was especially annoying on the snare where the snap of the snare was muddled with the ring of the open high hat. You can hear the result here of using drum layering to clean that up. I also posted on how I was using the L3 on the snare and kick before feeding into the drum bus (where it all gets another dose of compression, and some verb), so here is a song with that.
I had to do quite a bit to get this in decent shape, and would love to make it even better with any feedback that can be offered. I have heard in the past that folks don't care for Christian themed stuff... please don't let that be a hindrance, this artist is incredibly solid with some really interesting alternative/blues vibes (great licks/riffs, and solid vocals).
Used some ducking, parallel compression on the vocals, and the other usual stuff. I am still in learning mode, so fire away!
