this is a test mix of the song "Lost Dream" from the upcoming and updated album release "The Wild Animals" i hope you enjoy it. i'm looking for any mix suggestions, i think maybe the lead vox is too hot. maybe only in the front end, not so much the 2nd half...

Tricks or Treats everybody!

thank you oshc! this was super fun to track. singing, i had to wait for a full moon. LOL

added the companion video/visualizer

thanks dave! yea, this one has been considerably changed over the years, with newer guitar tracks, bass, arrangements, and mix approach.

This is a brand new version of a song i've worked with off and on for a while, this is the best version yet. tis the season! njoy!

ONE of the hardest things for me to learn how to do, as far as mixing goes (i've been doing this since the mid 80's) is to find the frequencies that cause masking. you can use Spectrum meters (most all DAWs have this) and you can isolate tracks, use parametric EQ's, dynamic EQ's, multiband...

technique, takes years and years to learn well. so there's that. this 3rd party plug only cost 39 clams. not a deal breaker. this plug, goes beyond 'technique'. yes, you can do all of this without the plug, i've been doing it for years, but with only varying degrees of sucess. i'd say this...

TRY WAVES CURVES EQUATOR

Weekend bump

try saturation. with the right plug, you can automate it, to bring up the saturation during just the lower sections, or just break the track out and apply it where it's appropriate. i use Waves Magma BB Tubes plug for this purpose.

I POSTED the new version in this same thread, so you could compare the versions, between my standard mix elements, and using the Curve plug almost exclusively. THE TAKEAWAY: what took me several weeks of mix sessions, listening, fixing, testing, remixing, etc.... i did in one hour with...

kinda proggy, i just mixed this version using the new waves curves equator plug, quite cool effect.

thanks for listening OSHC! i appreciate it. yes, this was a child of the pandemic. LOL i had time.... a luxury i never have any more... time to spend on inventing parts and boiling them down to exactly how i wanted them, and then try to mix it all! LOL , which of course, was the very hard...

very tasty. nice tone on that acoustic. it'd be nice to hear a key change during the long first solo section, so the walking bass line has a chance to change the mood.

I gave up on my roland VS 1880 back around 2008, moved to a pc setup with Sonar, have never looked back.

original mix: new mix using new Waves Curves Equator:

SORRY MAN, post #7 says it all. i've made 2 more mix sessions on this one since i posted, but there is so little interest, i'll focus on the next one to post soon. like i previously said, it's 10 songs total, i'm doing final mix balances on now. gotta get busy!

movin' on with this one. got it dialed in now. 4 down, 6 to go, album release. next!

hey talisman, thanks for listening! heh, you're the first one to mention lack of bass! got tons of bass on playback here... i'll focus on the eq of the bass, i think i can bring level up, without swamping the low end. <edit> yep, i found build up at 80hz and 160hz, that was not allowing me...
