Thanks for your comments! Bass was pretty much only the DI through Bogren’s Bass Knob, which of course has its particular flavour. Haven’t heard it called ”farty” before, but I sorta see what you’re meaning 🙂 I kinda like that ”smell”, though, hehe 🤘

Mixing on headphones sure is a bit tricky.. I try to listen to lots of music on my mixing setup just to get used to what music is supposed to sound like in this setting. Took a while to get used to the kinda bright sounding DT880’s but now I quite like them. Especially with the quite decent headphone amp in my SSL2. Directly from the macbook they sound a whole lot muddier.

Cheers and good luck with the competition! 🍻

Thanks man! Yeah, managing the bass overall was one of the harder parts of this mix, thanks for the suggestions. I did quite a few versions with different bass levels before I landed on this final one. It’s the one that perhaps just sounded most balanced to me in my specific setting, ie. on my Beyerdynamic DT880:s and my airpods :D – no mixing on monitors here unfortunately due to apartment living and children who’re not into death metal yet =D .

I can mention that I did mix in some samples for kick and snare, but kept quite a bit of the original sounds, and tried to go with a sample style not too far off from the original. The bass is mostly the DI through Bogren’s Bass knob STD. Almost every single track goes through a
Waves ssl channel, with most of the eq and compression happening there, apart from vocals where the CLA-76 does the heavy lifting. And a bit of automation 😆
