I'm going to be releasing a mixtape with my band. Two of the tracks i have recorded drums and guitar for so far in my home studio shed thing (I still have bass, vocals, melodica etc. to record). The problem is I would like one song to be a lot more mellow than another song, but still retaining the same sort of sound. How can i achieve this through the mixing alone? The recordings are done with the same setup on amps and everything, as i still want it to have the gainy guitar sound.
How would I go about achieving this?
Don't Cry by Deerhunter is the sort of sound i would like from the mellower track - it has a focus on gainy guitars but sounds rather mellow. What steps should I take to try and get a mix like that from the track i have?
I have the two tracks on soundcloud but unfortunately i cant post links until i have posted five times.
All help is hugely appreciated, thank you.
Edit:
Would one way of doing it simply be to turn down all instruments and turn up vocals?
