PhonoBrainer Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 The Great Hi-Hat Controversy of 2020! The question is, if you hadn't mentioned it, would anyone have picked it out as an issue? I'd say probably yes. Good news, it's not sibilant, at least not that I can hear anyway. I'd drop them hi hats half a db during all vocal sections, and because it's just a bit too far panned right in my opinion, is it over 60%? . . .I dunno, just a guess there . . . it would stick out in the mix less if you swung it back to center a bit, maybe no more than 30% right. ??????? And you could always eq more low end off of them to make them less present. Put that in your hi hat and smoke it! ? Did I forget anything??? Oh yeah, it's a great song, I love the positivity and the groove. And your vocals were wonderfully delivered. cheers, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Hi everyone . . . you may recall I posted this song earlier this month, and was having trouble with the Hi Hat sitting in the mix right, well, thanks to some great suggestions here I've upload a new mix with a totally redone Hi Hat, different hat, panned closer to center, some open hat additions, no breaks between sections, and a few other mix tweaks. Thanks to all who listened and commented, it is greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Kirby Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 A cool positive upbeat song - I enjoyed your vocal - it made me think a bit of John Denver's voice. Regarding the hi-hat you mentioned - maybe add a bit of reverb to it - perhaps that would blend it in better in the mix. I would bring up the snare a bit as well.
