My gearfest PureMix Contest Mix
Dangerous Music / Sweetwater / pureMix Mixing contest
My Studio: Presonus Studio One, MacBook Pro,
Presonus Studiolive console, Yamaha NS-10m monitors, KRK subwoofer
For this song, I used
Presonus Studio One as the DAW, and a variety of Sonalksis, Waves and Presonus Plug-ins. On Vocal, Sonalksis EQ,
Waves CLA-76 Compressor, and DeEsser. H-Delay and IK Multimedia CSR Reverb (Hall). I made a duplicate channel for Vox with SoundToys Radiator providing a bit of parallel vintage console break-up and vibe.
On Drums, Light Kick sample triggering, Snare (CLA-76), PuigChild Comp on Drum Overheads.
Waves H-Comp on whole kit (parallel processing). Stock Presonus EQ plugs.
On bass, I made a duplicate channel with Presonus RedLight Overdrive for grit and definition. Not much compression on the un-overdriven bass. Stock Presonus EQ plugs. Used both Amp and DI channels, put Amp channel out pf phase.
For Guitars, I used Waves H-Delay to expand the stereo field and provide depth. Another duplicate channel provided alternate EQ and tone for choruses. Stock Presonus EQ plugs. No compression.
Master Bus had a Sonalksis EQ, Waves API-2500 Compressor and L3 on ever so slightly.
