your production has come on in leaps and bounds..
I'm narrowing my tools down too. Getting to grips with one EQ, one comp, one reverb.
I really like the soundtoys gear - sound so good.
it's the difference between clarity and mush..
took me a long time to figure that out..
Also, in the live room, he had some awesome amps - well, I had to have a rip, obviously......
Also made Pro Tools look like the best DAW in the world.
I know this is out of place in here as it's mostly guitar based, but this is the result. I came in with all the audio parts done and he spent the day mixing it. Sounds so much better than what I came in with, with relatively simple processes. Took away a lot of learnings. I had planned to put a vocal on this, but like many things, never happened.
corrective is most often surgically removing some nasties so tends to be subtractive and with quite thin bands..
sweetening happens after, usually with much wider bands and is a sort of broader brush..
it's a real art.. not something I'm great at but wish I was
mixing a real kit is some sort of dark magic
on the few times I tried I don't think I ever got it right..
Vocals are the thing I find hardest to sing, record and mix, full stop. Always sound out of balance, too thin, you name it.
This one, whilst it's a cover, was all about space and strings, aiming for a big epic feel that has a full sound, big bottom end, but still enough air in it. Plus .....vocals!
Guitar - there are a few tracks in there, all of it done in Guitar Rig 5 actually. I've just got GR6 too, which is really good, sounds a lot better across the board. Thinking about it, there might be some Waves stuff on the guitar. Can't remember
Thanks again!
