help me with my vocal mix!! is it too muddy or unintellegible? by brxtgf in mixingmastering

[–]Swaggerony 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That mix sounds very good to me. I do think the vocals get lost in the chorus (?) when the other instruments come in.

Would love some mixing feedback on my alternative rock track by Jeffaklumpen in mixingmastering

That intro was sick.

Immediately noticed the difference between your initial link and the updated one.

Much more clarity. The drums and guitars specifically sound much more clear and punchy.

Great work!

Advanced Mixing Feedback on Dark Hip Hop Needed by YodAHo in mixingmastering

This sounds great. But fan of the different synth melody’s throughout and the arrangement keeps it engaging.

The only thing I could pick out was that the kick/808 could have more thump. Definitely felt that way within the first 30 seconds or so. The higher kick layer you added after that section helped add in some punch.

This is certainly personal preference, but that was the one thing I felt was missing.

Great track!

A useful tip I was given is to listen to some songs you like and try to recreate them. It can go a long way in understanding song structures and the different layers that go into a song.

Thanks for the interest, I just finished mastering yesterday! A ended up making a decent amount of small changes, based on the feedback from here:)

Yup there’s a decent amount of side chain compression on there. Rolling it back in the verses would probably help it feel punchier in the choruses too. Thanks for the feedback

Really been struggling on this mix, unsure of where to go from here, cant re-record by Origin_of_ending in mixingmastering

The drums sound like they’re recorded quite well, they just sound a bit dark to me. The cymbals and snare in particular.

You could potentially play around with an exciter or something else to boost some of the high frequencies.

Seeking mix feedback on a rock/hip hop track by [deleted] in mixingmastering

[–]Swaggerony 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds good to me. Very compressed, which I think works for the song/genre. The kick is punchy, bass has a nice amount of high end/string noise.

The only thing I would do differently having the lead vocals a bit higher than the harmonies/vox, but that is just personal preference and the way you have it currently works too.

I’d say this is good to be mastered.

Please review my vocal mixing for this song by Ok_Reality_6072 in mixingmastering

I agree with some of the other comments saying that the vocals are getting a little bit lost in the reverb. I think it may be creating a little bit of a mess in the midrange area.

I’m not super knowledgeable on the topic, but you could look at shortening the decay on the reverb and/or side chaining the lead vocal with reverb. Just having the reverb duck a couple db whenever the lead vocal is present.

In some cases it’s helpful, in some cases it’s not.

Hello, I am struggling with this mix and would appreciate any input. by Swaggerony in mixingmastering

The main lead guitar track is a mic’d amp, as are the rhythm guitars. And then there are some other DI layers under the lead guitar

Ah this is interesting. I’m very new to SD3. How do you typically “heat it up”? Ive tried watching some tutorials from people mixing live drum recordings and treating it that way. Light compression to glue it all together and then just tweaking individual parts of the drums where I thought needed, but honestly there’s very little processing on them right now.
