not a fan of the mid-bass vocal bump either, seems that is the trend to push 250ish to make it feel like they are right there in your face. The Death Cab for Cutie albums, Plans, for example is a great example of that bump. Might be what you want.
Overall I think it works, the piano is a little sterile in parts, little clunky and choppy, maybe a tweak on the programming could help. I would also kill the high end attack on her vox on a few places too, maybe around 5-6k.
Great job though, please don't take my post as an attack, I think it sounds good overall. |
Hey Sands,
thanks very much for that. I understand that your mixing suggestions are not written in stone, though it's really important to hear it all the same.
Re: piano performance/sound I agree, it's not right, but with that particular session I was focusing on getting the right vocal sound.
What exactly do you mean by high end attack on the vocals- does this refer just to EQ, or compression?
Final question - how does the compression sound, IYO?
