hey yo,
Feedback on this mix, please? Worked the mix for about 2 weeks, if not more. Still not the new AT4040 - that'll be on the next track. Since mixing is very subjective, i'll just say that I wanted to do a combination of a live feel with something more produced and electronic. So the vocal delays are there for the second part, while the ambiance in the vocal and airy presence at times is for the former. I hope this combination translates the way i was hearing it.
The bass has some extra saturation on the amp head. The is the first track i've added the smallest amount of verb to toms. I usually leave them dry, but i liked how they sounded with about 4% wetness on a "small studio" setting with minimal pre-delay and a very short (<500) tail. i don't think it clogged anything up, but my verbs do not have EQ built in, although they are individually eq'd and as a bus (more aggressively individually and less aggressive as a group). This is also the first track I used the TDR Feedback compressor. I used it on the vocals at about 4.0:1 for 5dbs reduction at most, and on the master bus mostly to increase volume with only .7 dbs reduction there. A/B'ing it on the master bus provided very pleasurable results.
I only referenced this on my car stereo and work buds, and I'd say I'm 93% happy with it...good enough for now anyways. what do you think of the mix?
I can hear the raindrops falling down,
as I lay my head to sleep.
And I can see the shadows all around,
the bed is empty next to me.
I wish I didn't chase it away...
I never thought you'd turn around and leave.
But I'm the one who made mistakes,
and now I can see...
I'm the one who let you down. (for all the world to see)
And I'm the one who's angry now.
I can taste your tears on my lips,
in the nighttime loneliness.
I can feel my hand on the back of your dress,
as we dance to the Lady in Red.
So far away. it's hard to sleep tonight,
but I can't stay the more we feel alive.
In the dark, the hours turn to days.
You'll run so far, for the last time.
And as we're falling apart, won't you fall in my arms?
