I recently used Pink's "Get The Party Started," mixed by Dave Pensado, to A/B for one particular track on a CD I'm producing, where I needed to get that tight dance sound happening.
As Knox pointed out, Dave knows how to get the midrange happening. That's a trick and 1/2 if you're a newbie like I am. It took me 2+ days of tweaking that mix before I got it close enough for R&R. Well worth it, though. The track rocks now.
OK, now a question:
We're currently producing a REALLY SOFT & SLOW urban ballad.
Any suggestions on what to A/B it with?
Thanks in advance! |
Ol' Dave P (aka Hardrive), eh?
Dave is great. He's the only other person I've ever willingly let mix an album I was producing and he nailed it. I had to mix one thing on it just to check us out, racing so to speak. Big fun. I don't have the Pink record, but I'll get it. Thanks for the info.
As far as Urban, slow and ballad. Hmmm. I don't know exactly what to call the genre, but India Arie's new thing is disturbingly clean and clear.
It's got to be some kind of reference point, but I'm really not sure what co compare it to. Maybe have a listen to that?
Regards,
