Near finished mix: My Brother the Governor

Post by aaronlyon »

Gee, it's only taken me six years to finish this one about our "president"...better late than never, I hope. Produced with DP 4.x-5.1. Includes only DP plugins, plus MasterVerb and TrackPlug. Drums are from SampleTank, programmed by me. Guitar sounds are from POD (sue me). Bushie speak is constructed from public domain samples.

I'm especially curious to hear how you think the voices sit in the mix. I've always been chastised for undermixing the vocals.

Dude-- where ya been? Great to read you again.

Hey-- with a track laying down THAT funky of a groove-- turn up the bass guitar!! It's doing some important stuff in there-- and there's room in the mix for a little more. The a good fat bass line can turn a mix from funky to ferocious.

Sometimes, I'll take an important mono bass track- duplicate it and offset the dupe by a couple of cents, panning it hard left and right. That may be overkill, but it does add some beef down below, in a manner of speaking.

Great vocals, btw! Cool track.
