@Dave Johnson : “A touch of reverb, sometimes none. Two other sections have flange and dirty tape. Guitars too wet sounding?”
A bit too much reverb on the guitars for me (especially when there is only one guitar, because it’s a bit too obvious) but that’s just a matter of personal taste i think.
Great mix for the most part !
Good job. I like how you approached to the guitars. They Sound great imo. Good luck🤘
Thanks Shaun. Yes, I will for sure have a listen to your mix
Hmm.. yeah, maybe too much verb. I figured most mixers would keep them dry, so I went for something different. I don’t think there’s any verb on the guitar when there’s only one though. One time is completely dry, another has the filtered tape thing and then the flanger one. If there was a 4th guitar break, then that might have verb on it… can’t remember. Thanks again for the feedback and taking a listen.
Thanks Echoes. Yeah, a few have commented that they liked the guitars. I remember they weren’t cutting through the way I wanted and wound up boosting a shit ton more 4k or about on the guitar bus, more towards the end. Even the mix as a whole, I kept brightening it up. I switched up my 2-Bus chain that I mix into, so I was getting used to things. I definitely noticed my midrange came out a lot better than usual, but not so much the lows and highs.

Maybe it’s just the tail of the reverb from the right guitar i’m hearing when only the left guitar starts a riff. Or maybe it’s it’s something else. I originally thought you did the “reverb send on the opposite side” thing to make the one guitar sound more 3D but it was not that obviously.
I like the tape and flanger things you did in the song btw !
I did pan the mono guitar verbs to the opposite sides. Maybe the automation to bypass the verb send on those parts isn’t quite on. Without everything being on the grid, automation in general was trickier than usual between song sections.
Gotcha !
