I placed four T-racks plugins on the stereo bus,
classic EQ
Vintage 670 comp
Vintage EQ
Opto comp
Neither compressor working that much, half a db if that.
Just looking at the classic EQ setting, and im a little shocked at what id done.
I’d chopped off all the top end . Hi-cut at 6.5Khz then a 1.8db high shelf at 8Khz
Yet it doesnt sound dull for the amount chopped off
(im still learing too! lol)
Then Jet run the mix through his Otari unit and Waves L1 (no dithering on this mix yet)
Thank you Strophoid, yeah, Halion aint too bad really. Ive got BFD2 but have really struggled to make it sound
any good . I intend to go back to it, so I can make use of the OH and room mics etc, which I feel im missing using Halion for drums.
Nice… very nice I like the arrangement, the lyrics (of course!), Jet’s unmistakable delivery and style. Good job all round actually…AND while the mix generally sounds good, everything has it’s place, nicely balanced etc etc I find that the overall tone did seem a tad brash to me, a little too ‘brittle’… that’s surprising too given the processing. Perhaps mostly attributable to the main riff/rhythm guitars??
I think personally I would have preferred an even softer/warmer finish to this song…
nice to hear something from you sav. cool track, dig how the guitar swells up around 2;27, really like the sound on that floor tom. seemed short enough to add a 20 sec lead section
Yeah, I think its been about 6 months since the last song Jet and I worked on together.
We’ve been working on this last few months, ive been on hoilday, having a ‘big’ birthday,
buying guitars, having more hoildays…kinda busy really… I cant multi-task, thats why
ive not been in here for a little while
One of Jet’s many great ideas and handy work right there!
hehe, that made me chuckle. Just before I finished the mix, I tweeked the floor tom
a little. The idea came from a Missing Andy song ‘Kings for the weekend’ (a band ive followed
for a few years now) Cant put a link here due to the rules, but if you Youtube the offical vid
for the song, at 1.59 listen to the tom. The engineer leaves the tom ringing, which I thought
ahh thats a clever idea
So I tried to do something similar using EQ and reverb. Sorry for the long explanation, but it was one
of those tweeks you do in a mix and ya kinda feel chuffed with it, and you think no one will ever notice it,
so kinda found it funny that you mentioned the tom Same with the bass slide at the beginning, the slide was a real
bass (cheap and nasty one ) then Trilian for the rest, thought it blended together nicely
birthdays, holidays, buying guitars, sounds great man!
yes that tom sound is cool and you did the perfect match, geez I could make a song from that tom sound
jets voice has a natural emotion and feel to it, good stuff.
