another new test mix,
i want this one spacy, but not too spacy...
drums dry, but with a bit of room character.
this is the 1st of a couple of passes at final mix.
want to make sure the bass sits ok.

gonna work on this one again tonight,

any suggestions?
after tonight, i'll take the mix down, or i could post an update...
 
I think your VOX and guitars are sharing too much of the same frequencies...
I wouldn't mind if you scooped the guitars a bit.
 
I think that it could use a bit more "oomph" to the bass. It seems a bit thin on this one.

hey odi! thanks for listening

vox is panned center, guitars are hard left and right,
plus the guitars have dynamic eq with mid-side processing on them,
so as to 'hollow out' the middle for the vox...

so, i'm not sure what to make of this one,
i'll do some solo'ing on the vox EQ overall, vs the guitars, and see if there is any masking going on.
thanks for the heads up!

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 to up the level of the bass guitar.
makes sense, to bring those down, bring everything else up, and voila! more bass, less mud.
i use a dynamic EQ for this, waves f6, it's a great tool.
 
movin' on with this one.
got it dialed in now. 4 down, 6 to go, album release.
next!
 
I agree with @Odi and @TalismanRich on this one. The vocal needs to stand out from the guitar somehow without losing the guitar. I think once you solo those together you'll be able to is that out. Also, I like the sound of the bass but maybe lacking a little low end? Sometimes just raising the level will do it. The song definitely rocks man. Good work!

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!
