New Mix
A little old school in this one but still an over all nice song.
I was supplied with tracks recorded with an MBox (ewww), the lead vocal was recorded with a $69 MXL mic (except backgrounds those were with some much better equipment), Bass recorded with great equipment, drums are Superior Drummer, and I mixed it in DP using mostly UAD plugs mixed with some other native plugs.
Any thoughts or input have at it! Thanks for listening.

Re: New Mix
The singing sort of reminds me of John Secada. Nice full{WIDE SOUNDING} mix. I personally would liked more focused bass and kick drum frequencies but other than that its cool. Good Job!!!!!!

Re: New Mix
Hey Ronjams thanks for the input and your kind words.
Yeah low end is always a challenge for me. I'm always fearful of having to much mud - sure give away of a project studio mix in my mind. So I always lean a bit on the conservative side. I'd like to get this thing to thump and if I didn't do this for free (friend project) I'd recommend it being mastered. But of course the client has no money and well, it is what it is right! LOL
Thanks again.

Re: New Mix
Nice clean sound. Mbox (ewww), I agree, but you pulled it off and made a respectable recording with what you were given. Nice job!

Yeah I really felt like I was putting a lot of make-up on the ugly MBox girl to make her look respectable LOL

Re: New Mix
I did the remastering and sent it back but I haven't heard from him since I did it. He said that he would get back to me in a few days but hey it's the holiday season now but I'm patiently waiting for his response.

Re: New Mix
I think your mix is very good and sounds great. I will agree a little more bottom would help. Like you I am a bit conservative on the low end as well. I do a lot of watching the meters on the buss leveler and main buss meters for low end. Easy to muddy a mix. (Been there and done that) I'm sure your friend is amazed with this mix. You served them well my man.
Enjoyed - Thanks for sharing,

Re: New Mix
Really nice mix; warm and clear, and it sits in a nice acoustic space - not too cavernous, not too intimate. The drums sound a little up front, but not objectionably so - did you play them with triggers? just curious...
I think the lead vocal sounds very good despite the signal chain limitations; it would be interesting to know what it was like in its original state.

Re: New Mix
Hey sorry for the delay I didn't get the normal email telling me someone replied. The drums are Superior Drums that I programmed so to speak. Regarding the original vocals surprisingly they weren't total crap but lacked dimension. You know with tracks like this it's kinda like putting make up on a ugly girl...it helps but when all is said and done she's still ugly.

Regarding the mastering job although I appreciated his efforts I honestly didn't think it did the mix any favors...I'm pretty sure I emailed him letting him know my thoughts.
