June Mix Challenge 2022

[Paul MotionParticipant]

Hey Patrick, vocals sound great. Kick is nice and big. Some of the things for me are the kick and bass relationship. I think you need a more solid bass and low lows.
There’s all the funny glitches and pops in the bass that need to be cleaned up. I’m not sure if Steve left those in intentionally but I couldn’t make them work so had to spend an hour or so cleaning them up. The side chaining method that Chris mentioned helps with that.
I feel like the mix is a bit linear at the moment although I have no doubt you’re all over that.
I’ve been going through and trying to mess things up a hit. Changing the synths with ring modulation and phasing.

Looking forward to hearing where you get to next!

first patrick i really like your Elvis Costello on feedback friday

i dont have the words to offer criticism.... to  me this is way more appropriate than anything i did example how drum vocal  balance is better.

2nd listen... i  agree paul talks about linear  and i think more automation  is something that would push this over the top

any way very good work man....plus kudos to you my wife uses logic and i have  given up trying to use it (tho the plugins that come stock i love to death)

Kip thank you for those kind words that means a lot!!

I agree with both you and Paul and I going to work on that for sure.

Logic stock is really good indeed.

I like what you got in your mix so far, keep up the good work

Here’s where I’m at currently. A bit more work to do on the bass tone and vocals I think. Feedback most welcome.. 🙂

nicely done

[Paul MotionParticipant]

Thanks for your kind words Kip 🙂 Ear candy is where it’s at!

I heard Futures by Zero 7 on the way to work and I think I have a better idea of some tweaks I need to make now 🙂

[Paul MotionParticipant]

Ok.. made some updates to the vocals and bass plus a few tweaks here and there. Any feedback super welcome.

Hey Paul!

I totally agree with Kip about the ear candy/pan its awesome.

I like the radio fx.

I have listen 2 times now and only thing I have is taste thing, like vocal could be a bit louder but it also is good where it is same goes with the kick.

I really like this mix Paul great job!

[Mark LowrieParticipant]

Hi all - only just seen this section today.  A great idea to create a monthly thing like this.  🙂

Here's my Pro Tools stock plugs stab at it:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1oWp7qbYqgaoIRXO3I98AYMzIOHibclZ4/view?usp=sharing

that sounds great to me mark...really well done

[Paul MotionParticipant]

Nice work Mark sounds great. The spread on the backgrounds is great. Steve’s vocal could do with a bit of de-essing I think.
