What's striking about this mix compared to most demos is the smooth frequency balance. It sounds professionally done, like it's been mastered.
Very well done. One for the iPhone. |
Actually it HAS been mastered. I could post the unmastered version if anyone is interested in what it sounded like. The M.E. told me that the mix was good enough that he didn't do much at all.
IMO, I should've turned the BG vocals up about 1db which I plan to do for the album mix. As to be expected, I don't do too well mixing songs on which I had artistic involvment. I think the mixes I did for the same group that I DIDN'T produce sound noticeably better...
But this -
"Often it seems that people worry too much about the gear and not enough about the actual music." - is what bothers me so much about so many people. They've convinced themselves that there's no way possible you can make great music unless you have eight 3000.00 preamps and a 9000.00 mic. Don't get me wrong...i'd LOOOVE to have all that but it's simply not possible for me right now. All I can do is make the best music I can possibly make.
Anyway, thanks for the compliments. Not sure exactly which singer you were talking about but the 1st verse was one of the group members (Ceddy Boi) and the 2nd verse & hook is me...as well as additional BG vox in the 3rd verse.
