Mixing/Mastering Impressions

[guitar zero]

Hey all! Well, I sat on it for a few months and took another stab at mastering this piece: YFIF Parallel by Flubly on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

I took a subtly different approach to the guitar's verb, and used parallel compression to slightly tame the dynamic range of the vox and guitar. There's also a wee bit of parallel compression on the master buss too. I just found that traditional compression approaches destroyed the tracks because they weren't properly recorded for robust processing. They really became impossible to EQ.

Anyway, what do you guys think? I'm starting to think I'm getting into the realm of diminishing returns.

I actually think the reverb on the guitar is better now, more subtle but still spacious. That's the biggest difference I notice. The control of the dynamics seems better than I remember as well, especially on the strummed guitar parts. It's been so long since I first listened to this one, but I think this is an improvement.
