Thread Starter | A little patch of “Blue Sky”.......
Gearslutz All..... In my mixes, it’s important for me to have a little patch of “Blue Sky”, (A bit of absolute sonic reality) in the mix, to ground the ear, so to speak!!! Bruce Swedien   |

I'd love you to give an example... do you mean, like some sort of 'foundation' in the soundscape that the ear goes to when the piece becomes less busy ? Thanks, Nathan

Thread Starter | If the piece of music I am working on is a "Billie Jean" type of composition.... Quote:
Sort of...... It has nothng to do with the business of the piece. If the piece of music I am working on is a "Billie Jean" type of composition for instance, I would have a very acoustic, absolutely natural sounding sound source in that recording, and treat the recording and mixing of that sound source as an absolutely unaltered acoustic sound source, amidst all the great groove elements and synthesiized sounds and all. There is such a sound source, of course, in "Bille Jean". What is it? Bruce Swedien | |

Thread Starter | Man, you are sharp......
To my Darliing Gearslutzers..... Man, you are sharp. Yes, it's the string section. If you played the mix and took out all the elements except the strings, the strings are balanced and mixed as a very real sonic entity... In other words the string section, played by itself, is an unaltered sonic event. It grounds the ear.... Bruce Swedien |

I'd love to hear that string section by itself !!! If I did, would I hear alot of room ambience ? And if so, do you think this contributes alot to the 'grounding' of the listeners ear ? Many thanks, Nathan | |
