If I don’t win, I’m going to cry a river of tears, swallow said tears and then cry them out again.
Alright not really. But I did try to make this song sound like how I thought it should have sounded from the beginning and worked the mix around their vibe.
Nice drum sound! I like the samples you chose 🙂 The cymbals are also at a nice level, they sound clear without being harsh.
Thank you! I attacked the cymbals and room mics with maximum savagery!
Awesome! Did you do parallel compression on the rooms, or just straight on?
No parallel compression anywhere 🙂 On the room mics specifically I did subtractive EQ (lots of it as I found there was so much harshness in the upper frequencies that just sounded terrible), tube style saturation, compression and then limiting.
On the overheads I did the same thing just less dramatic EQ and then compression, saturation and limiting.
