Title: Multitrack mixdown opinions needed
Post by: Teen Wolf Blitzer on June 03, 2007, 11:16:35 PM
Would love some opinions on the overall mix.  Lemme know if somethings too loud, too soft or anything else.  I almost think the omnis are a bit too loud on this mix but it's all subjective.  Thanks for reading and for listening if you choose to do so.   ;D

Bring the drums up just a hair and drop the horns just a hair. Also, You can't really hear the kick. Other than that, sounds very nice.

Overall it has a nice sound. I echo Charlie and I also feel as though some or one of the sources is slightly out of alignment. I hear it mostly in the drums there is a small small small echo. Maybe it was a lesser of evils type of thing. I know it is sometimes unavoidable. If your able I would suggest trying to hear the delay I speak of and then mute tracks until you hear it go away. Then try to nudge that track a sample or two in either direction to see if it helps. Might help bring that kick out too if it is a phase issue. But the bass sounds fine so that it not as likely. At least your kick is too low and not too high. I think kick drums get mixed way to loudly all too often. Sounds great though.

Don't forget to check phase when you're mixing multiple sources.
