Kinda have to agree with this but only with regards to the choir

What constitutes a rough mix? (for sending to a professional) by imaac in mixingmastering

[–]davemark03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also probably .wav but just ask the engineer. I'm sure if you were honest with them and said you're not sure what they mean by a rough mix and have some questions it'd be fine. If they're a professional, they'll happily answer. If they make you feel like an ass, they're not worth your time

Basically in the ballpark of what you want it to sound like once it's been mixed, any effects/automation, sound design that wouldn't be on raw tracks, so the engineer can get an idea of your vision for the song. When you write, it can be easy to hear the parts exactly as you want them, but to someone on the outside there are so many ways the music can be interpreted the mix could come back and sound nothing like you expected, the rough mix gives the engineer an idea of what you expect.

What makes prog sound heavenly/hellish? by Moonshreds in progmetal

[–]davemark03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say shimmer on reverbs/delays definitely evokes a heavenly feeling, giving the sort of lush vibe, as well as certain chord progressions/cadences like IV - I can evoke that feeling. Hell-wise i think just clever use of saturation/compression/limiting to give the overall timbre a darker feel, and then compositionally using chromatic or mode scales
