Killing generic R&B...
Thanks. I see you have quite a repuation around here for mixing so I know you know your stuff...
I don't use samples or phases. I use sampled individual drum hits...kicks, snares, ect. but I sequence them myself. Every "instrument" - ist's all synth - still has to be tracked out individually and EQed/Compressed/Automated so preamps and converters can't help but play at least a small part. The biggest difference is obviously going to show in the vocals, though, and I agree that there was quite a bit of difference there. I will admit that I had learned a lot mix-wise between the 3rd song and the snippet but even a better mix still wouldn't have compared.
The basses i usually get from the Roland Fantom X that I heavily modify. Do you mean flat in pitch or just plain flat sounding?
