Well, this sort of thing is very
subjective. I would have brought the bass up a tad and maybe wetened the
snare and toms just a bit, not that eighties big reverb thint, just subtle.
But as it has been said, the customer's always right.

Good way to look at it Chris, and when you have a happy client then that is
the thumbs up or down. I liked the percussive sharpness of the piano,
because it seemed to just make it all a little more edgy and raw and not too
tamed. Thanks for sharing

Hi Chris. The client is happy with the track and actually asked that
the snare be fattened up. (grin)
It's interesting how opinions differ on this stuff and I'm just out
to learn more as I go.

Personally, I didn't find it all that bad. OK, yeah, the drums
might have been just a tad bit too loud in the mix, but I said a
slight! bit. I'm not kidding when I say, it really wasn't! that bad
at all. I think if you was to turn down the drums by maybe 1 to 1
and a half DB, I'd say 2 at most, pushing it to the extreme, you'd
be ok. Yeah, you probably could have rolled off some of the lows of
the drums, especially the snare, but you'd want to be really careful
doing so. You almost have it sitting where it needs to be, so if
you go too far with it, it's going to sound terrible, as there would
be no low ends at all. I agree with Papa. It's very good. There
is! an issue with the drums, I'll admit, but like him, I can't quite
put my finger on it. Try turning them down about maybe a DB and a
half, then send it back to us to hear again. That should! do the
trick. Pre-Processing, before you route the drums through any
effects, or compressers, etc. just the raw dry mix of the over all
drums, what is it peeking at with your meters at its highest point?
Chris.

Hello Chris, nice overall mix. The only thing that stands out to
me is the bass and the drum. I am not sure if the drum has to many
low frequencies that need to be cut and then boost some of the
higher frequencies around maybe 150HZ. Or, it could be a
compression thing I think I am hearing, either way, it sounds like
there is a little pumping between the kick and the bass. Keep in
mind, I could be wrong in my diagnosis, but I like the mix with
the exception of that little aspect that seems to stand out to me.

Hi folks.
I mixed and mastered an easy listening track for Brian Howerton
recently, and since I haven't mixed something lighter like this
before, I thought I would ask for opinions on it. Here's a 48-second
sample:
https://www.sendspace.com/pro/dl/7bhny7
So, what do you like and more importantly, what do you not like?
What would you have done differently?
For instance, I was too attached to the drum sound, but after
Brian asked for them to be turned down, I now appreciate the
improvement. After all, without a vocalist, the piano really is
the main event here.
By the way, if this is your thing, contact Brian at
bshowert...@gmail.com Thanks Brian, for the work, and for patience
as I got my ears together, after not mixing for ages.
Chris
