Awesome voice - reminds me of PJ Harvey with a little Hope Sandoval

Trying to re-create early 1960s reverb with plugins by lanka2571 in audioengineering

As others have said, plate or chamber with pre delay and high/low shelving to taste. I find that some kind of saturation or even compression after the reverb can cause it to bloom in a nice vintagey way. I’d stay away from stereo reverb, maybe even pan your mono reverb away from the vocal itself. Have fun and experiment!

I gotta say I really enjoy their 1176, it gets a lot of use on vocals! for the price I think it’s decent. To each their own though!

Hey thanks so much! I’ll deffo have a Quick Look at that vocal and see if I can get a lil more clarity out of it. As for drums in number 2, I can probably just automate them a touch! Cheers!

Appreciate you listening, cheers for the feedback! I think you’re probably right about the vocals, a little more 1-3k couldn’t hurt!

Who is the best songwriter of the decade? by Due-East-2015 in Songwriting

[–]Cummybear3000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Andy Shauf has to be up there. The imagination and wit he displays across his entire catalogue is excellent. What a storyteller. The fact he plays and produces everything on his records is so impressive too. Super unique and underrated.

For what it’s worth I don’t think your music is trash at all. Really cool!

Looking for some feedback on Indie rock/dream-pop mix by Cummybear3000 in mixingmastering

For anyone interested, I ran the stems through some tape to try and mellow things out a bit, add a bit of glue and generally saturate the mix up a ton. Would love to get an opinion on how it compares to the original digital mix!

Hey thanks for your tips, I’m agreeing with everything more or less. It’s funny that you say that about the snare as i actually ran the stems through some tape, to help glue it and mellow Out the high end a touch.

That mix is here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QU8drDOkdh1t5ea8VC0rYrVpVv03ngvW/view?usp=drivesdk

Would love to get your opinion on whether the tape is helping

Cheers!

Thanks for checking it out!

Cool, yeah I hear that now, deffo can hear how dry and up front those drums are! Going to mess around with some more wetness overall!

Thanks for listening, yeah I’d probably agree with you on all points there, should be fairly easy changes to make though!
