KYo, I just listened to your mix.
Despite your explanations (all natural…) I am not convinced of the result.
There are still several major problems: firstly the snare, much too loud, sounds in stereo which is really unpleasant when listening to headphones.
The toms are very heavy, without impact and everything on the cymbals is absolutely discreet.
The bass takes center stage.
But I like the main voice even though the choirs are almost non-existent.
I don’t understand what’s happening in your mix or rather what’s not happening from 1’28 to 1’38 where there is an electric guitar solo linked to a steel guitar solo. There is nothing.
The Hammond B3 organ dominates the accompaniment to the detriment of the banjo and the acoustic guitar, I don’t hear the latter two.
Well, whatever the techniques and means used, we are far from all the tracks but that is not necessarily important, it is the final result that counts.
Not convinced that your mix reflects the “country” atmosphere.This is all a question of taste. And of course, this cannot be discussed…
in reply to: Chang – James Dupré Contest 2024- #17186KYo, thank you for taking the time to listen to my mix.
Regarding your remarks, I am a little surprised when you say that there would be phase problems.
The majority of my mix was work in mono and I checked any phase problems using different software. Everything is OK on this side, both in terms of listening. Unfortunately, I don’t understand at all what you’re talking about about “slight noise”. Could you explain to me?
Concerning the overall sound, I agree with your analysis of the “mediums” as well as the positioning of the voices.
In these cases, I am indeed out of line in the current fashion which consists of keeping the raw sound of everything what is cymbals and putting excessively “upfront” the voice(s). These mixes, generally American, have no depth for the reasons I have just mentioned.
My mix is more akin to 3D which is not very common and generally surprises.
All this being a question of taste, we all know that tastes and colors cannot be discussed…
Thank you again for your feedback, it is always informative.in reply to: James Dupre Another Love Song Mix #17115I just listened to your mix again on headphones and I must admit that the impression about the snare is not the same.
Everything seems well integrated.
Only small surprise (on headphones): I hear someone speaking in the background of the mix at 1’49” during the “empty” passage played by the cymbal…
If it’s not a voice, what is this?
Do we both have the same tracks?
Or has an intruder slipped into your mix? LOL…in reply to: James Dupre Another Love Song Mix #17114Excellent musical balance. Well done !
If I had to nitpick, I wonder if the drums (excellent sound) aren’t a little too present, particularly the snare.
I’m not too convinced if this type of sound suits the musical style of the title whose atmosphere is country style.But it’s still a remarkable job.
in reply to: Andrew Johansen – Dead To The World – Mix #5971Hi Andrew.Johansen ! Your mix “sounds” quite powerful and it has a “sound” quite in tune with the times (compared to the original mix which surprises me a little, taking into account the era). There is a small imbalance in the drums: too much click on the kick and really intrusive cymbals. Nevertheless, everything remains quite balanced and I really like the powerful and aggressive voice, as it should be… Good mix!
in reply to: Dead to the world versus Chang #5960Thank you Andrew.Johansen, I really appreciate your comment.
Indeed, I wanted to do something different from the “standards” of rock metal music.
The result seems to me more “impactful” by highlighting the drums. -
