here's my go, I did this mix in about 20 minutes, it was a fast one. There was a problem with cubase though, it didn't print a long delay effect I had in the choruses for some reason, even though everything was set correctly... therefore this is the 'rough' or should I say dryer version!
Ok, Found the file. Let's make this all it can be Einar. I have some free time.![]()
Friends of mine that do great video are not as cheap (free) as I am.
Your thoughts...?
I managed to fix the problem with cubase not bouncing the delay sound, so this version is how I intended it to sound, I'm very happy with this mix, it sounded great on the neumann kh120a monitors.There are some nice mixes on this one too, I had a listen to all of them. This was a massive pleasure to mix for me because it is so well recorded and it makes it so much easier! well done and I hope you like my new version.

Hi. It sounded almost well balanced on my office 2.1 system. The kick and base are close to "to hard" on the sub. I see this is a pre-master, so thats mabye something you normally fix in the mastering....
The delays was a bit all over, and i couldend quite get what you was going for.
Anyway. Thanks for the effort
best regards

Hi.
Cant belive you want to polish any more on my song. Much appreciated. I really love you version.
Regarding that video you friend could make.....what are we talking about....thousand...?
ps: I read some where if you could prove that you made the music before "the other" your pretty much safe in court with that.......or....?
best regards

Anything that stands out to you that makes you say 'almost perfect mix'?
I have messaged my video friend to get some idea of what options and cost of putting together a video might be.
I was more joking about the copyrite thing.![]()
Iv already gotten a close to perfect mix, https://www.yousendit.com/download/OGhkUXVqQzdLVlhtcXNUQw from jimmy, and he has also layered down a choir(melodyne),based on my voice, so thats kind of cool. Take a listen.
best regards

This was why I asked.![]()
Nice man!
I must say it is easy to work with tracks that are played well and sound good to begin with.
We all have a different aspect as to what sounds good and do things differently in regards to that. Your mix sounds great to me, though I like mine better. lol. I am not even quite happy with mine.
I haven't listened to anyone else's mix of this tune (yet), but I listened to the original track and for some reason it reminded me of 'Turbo Lover' by Judas Priest. I went for more of a 'Soundgarden-ish' direction with it though and this is just a rough to show the direction I would go with it. There is no automation and I've only roughly massaged the key tracks - the Organ, the Vocal, hacked up the bass guitar and kick drum. All the guitars are just panned in the direction the names implied and pushed up to general levels - the solo tracks I left out because I would want to replace them with something like a drill motor driven guitar solo....
One of the main reasons I went in the direction I did was because the main vocal track was badly clipped and distorting it was much easier than trying to fix it and make it sound natural.
ooops, I guess I can't play, not enough posts to add the link.
Ha! I squeezed out a few posts....
Everyday Rough
Interesting with the 'Turbo Lover' approach.![]()
See, we all have a different approach as to what sounds good to ourselves. Yours is just a different way of hearing things. That is one part of recording/mixing that I find quite interesting. The way you hear and mix a tune, is just different from mine. And that is cool man.
Not sure why you found the vocal track 'badly clipped'. Hell, I made a harmony track in Melodyne with it and found it to work quite well. And further, after my first mix by adding drum tracks via MIDI, I decided to play drums live for the song. Maybe listen to the other mixes and see how different we all are in how we hear things. It is quite intriguing...None are bad-just different.
My vision of another persons tune may not be the same as theirs. That is what makes us all unique. Sometimes, it just works. Sometimes it does not. That is why some artists choose particular people or producers/engineers to work with.![]()
