"I Remember" (kind of sounds like a chase scene)

Post by Robertt8 » Sun Sep 11, 2016 3:39 am

Hey guys!

I was wondering if you guys could take a min to look over this mix.

I think it?s pretty close to being done, but had a few things that might be bothering me.


1. I can never seem to fully gauge the low end. One some players it sounds too heavy, in some it sounds fine.

2. Lead vocals sound too loud?

3. I still need to align a few hits better, but I?m open to suggestions.

Much appreciated.

Thanks!

To me the vocal IS WAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO IN FRONT.

I cannot really hear the music. It sounds like an announcer talking over the music, until about 1:30 where the difference gets less apparent.

Also I love low end. This does not have enough IMHO.

If you are open, I can do a mix for you, as a different perspective, and then maybe this gives you some more ideas on how to finish this song. Is this part of an album / EP?

Cheers

Thanks for the notes Nick!

I'll have to tweak that stuff in the mix.

If you're willing to do a free mix, I'd be nuts to turn THAT down. :)

This is done in Cubase 8.5 (btw)

LOL.

I'm using PT HD, so if you still do want me to do a mix for you, you'll have to export the audio, by consolidating all audio tracks beginning at the same start point, and send them over. It would take me, in my spare time, about 3-4 days to return a mix to you and we can compare notes from there. Hopefully this exercise helps you in your own studio.
