I think you can hear me putting the drum sticks down after the song is over lol.
A disclaimer is in order: I’m pretty new to this, so don’t treat me as an authority on anything!
Vocals are great but... they fade in and out depending on the volume of the guitars. The guitars swell out somehow and the vocals fade. Not sure how to fix it but that's my observation. I'm on board with the previous comments re - trim the intro/ending, lip smacks, bouncy bass.
Minor overall - great tune and playing is great too - best I've heard by you guys. Hope you keep this collab going as there is some great musical chemistry going on.
Thanks. No change in EQ on the vocals. I did a lot of manual edits to reduce the level of the esses, cut out or lower the level of the breaths. I like to hear them but they were way loud before.
Dude Ray, this is really nice work! I think you improved the mix in every way, with no compromises. Things are glued together much more than before. The performance sounds much more integrated and convincing as a group. Very tastefully done IMO.
so... you zoomed way in on a single word, then chopped the volume for that word, or even syllable, down? So it is like a pre-deesser thing? To reduce the workload of the de-esser before it even hits it?
