Hey guys.
I just did a first pass mix on a song my band recorded ourselves, and I was wondering if anyone would like to give me some feedback. I would really appreciate any advice.
Some things that are probably pertinent:
Recorded at our practice space. Drums used OTRF and close mic on kick, snare, under snare.
The kick mic recording probably wasn't the best sound. I went for a higher-end smack sound, pulling out 1-4 gently in a lot of the guitars and synths. Id be satisfied as long as the kick remains audible throughout the song. I also used a lot of compression on the guitars with a side chain to just the first impact of the kick to try and keep it the kick cutting through throughout the song. Just a few milliseconds, I hope its not even really noticeable.
No automation just yet, but I don't think there will be a whole lot of it overall
Used Age of Consent as the main mix reference. I'm not going for a super modern sound, but I'd like the mix to sound basically decent.
Any comments would be helpful!
