Aewon - Bought You Perfume

Could do with a bit of a breakdown or a middle 8 the back beat gets repetitive real quick.

Mix wise not bad nice definition in the bottom end, reasonable placement but not much other content other then the vox and the Kick/Bass line.

I was limited with my plugins as only had X1. Ive since downloaded the latest cakewalk bandlab and the new plugins work. so i will probably remin it with manley voxbox and see what other sounds i can get. wouldnt mind getting a female on the chorus to make it pop. 

 

And thank you Jack that means a lot.

Sounds like a plan, let us hear the remix.

Not sure if I listened to a remix version or not, anyways, the low end is really great, and yes some other sounds would add to the song. X1 is a long way from the current version, enjoy!

So nice of you to say. Do you mean the low end of the beat or the vocal?  Remix is not up yet. I downloaded Manley voxbox and La2A and it just adds some amazing warmth and clarity to the vocal and cuts through nicer. I havent uploaded remix yet as waiting on a friend to add to the chorus. He may or may not come through though. So Will give it another day or two. I appreciate the feedback. Now have Cakewalk by Bandlab so I can use all the latest plugins.

It took several remixes to get it right to my ears. I used some (new to me) UA plugins which IMO blew the plugins i was using well out of the water.

A little background on the sound.


I used a Miktek C1 into a prism sound interface. The microphone was switched to modern sound for the verse, and vintage sound for the chorus.

The modern sound is not recommended as very sharp hard to remove esses. I have since upgraded to a Neumann U87ai, which I have not used yet. However for the remix i did use the u87ai for the backing vocals in this track, you can subtly hear them, Am looking forward to making tracks with the U87ai into the prism in near future.

The plugins were/are a gamechanger in sound and cutting through.

 

I used the manley voxbox, la2a compressor, and many more, but these 2 plugins are what brought the vocal right to meet with the beat. Listening to the original mix are worlds apart. Much warmer and clear with these plugins, which are well worth the investment. I got the UA essential package and the ManleyVoxBox.

I went to listen to the first version again but it was gone, so I can't compare, but this mix sounds good and is clean so I think you got the song where you wanted it to go. Small critique, and not my genre at all, but I think the vocals are a little too low, I would raise them just a bit so they are say equal to the little riffs in presence. But its well done as is, enjoy your new plugins ! ps I cant stand perfume so I would run away too!  ha
