Hi Michael!
Nice to meet you! I just listened to the track and I thought it sounded fantastic. I was really “in it” and if I heard that come on the radio I wouldn’t question it being super pro for a minute.
After listening to the track, I read the other comments and I also agree with many of tthe comments as well. I think some of the ideas could definitely benefit the final mix.
That being said, I just wanted to say that I was pretty blown away with how good it sounded, and the musicians in the band are throwing down! Thanks for sharing.
Send us a link when the song is out so we can hear the final version!
Best,
Jesse

Thanks as always for your informative and thoughtful answer, it was very helpful and appreciated!!
In terms of those versatile parametric EQs that you mentioned, such as the Avid 7-band EQ or Fabfilter Pro-Q3 — Is there any sonic difference when you boost the same frequencies with the same filter/same Q. I know that Pultec and other analog emulation Eq plugins will have different sounds because of their unique curves and circuitry, etc but I guess I’m just wondering if the parametric style EQ’s (Fabfilter vs Avid-7) can actually sound different from each other? I certainly don’t have the ears to perceive a difference:)

Hey Jon!
I think this mix sounds fabulous! I’m definitely no pro by any means so I wish I could offer more constructive feedback but it really does sound very good to me. If this came on the radio I wouldn’t question it at all!
A couple things that jumped out at me while listening very critically was the noise floor in the beginning and end was somewhat noticeable and maybe took me out of the moment a bit? (is it in the acoustic guitar mics?) (***Curious if anyone knows of a solution to this? Would it be a noise gate? or some kind of RX or something? Inquiring minds want to know haha)
I also felt that the short section right after the guitar solo (from 2:03-2:09) possibly lacked a little presence somehow? Maybe the bass could come up slightly??? Not sure tho…
Again – this mix totally rocks, I wish I could mix like you!
Best Wishes,
Jesse

A response to my question from @dana in my inbox to start the day! This is even better than Christmas morning! Dude – Thank you so much! And being able to watch the video is EXTRA AMAZING as it really helps me with all this stuff to see and hear what you are describing. You fully answered all of my questions and I am feeling so much more confident about this topic now – the only problem is that I think I’m going to have to just bite the bullet and purchase that Fab Filter Limiter haha
now to watch one more time:)
Thanks again!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of this insight! So helpful! I feel as excited about all of this mixing and production stuff as I did about learning my 2-5’s back in the day:)….which is very excited haha

Wow! This response is so helpful and so much appreciated and answers so much of the stuff I’ve been wondering about. About halfway through your response I was like…this is the short version!? haha!!! (I know you can’t help yourself, bad cat)
Seriously – thank you so much for everything you are doing with this platform and creating this incredible space for people to help each other grow!
Love,
JLew

Great question and a very helpful answer! Thanks for this response!

Holy Moly! This list of reamp possibilities is incredible and totally game changing! I had actually never even considered the idea of using the original software synth and combining that with the reamp audio!
In a typical setup do you just literarily mix them together (like make a moog group and just combine them to taste????)
Inquiring minds want to know ❤

why are you so heavy?!!!

Quick Question – Do you think listening thru my laptop built in speakers could be a good alternative to the small speakers across the room? Or is the actual distance from the sound source important?

Production advice “Gold” right there ❤ Thank you
