Danny Yell Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Hi, I tried to mix my own (old school rock and roll) music but I cannot make the depth I hear in most productions. I wonder if someone could mix it and send it back in cakewalk so I can see what I did wrong or could be better. So just with the tools in Cakewalk but if some reverb plug in is much better I like to hear that too. Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you. https://youtu.be/75lzzIx7Zsc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Vere Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 It's sounds OK but the instruments seem too far back in the mix, not very punchy for rock. Possibly need to push the envelope with compression and limiting. And that piano glissando? is 2x louder than anything else it frightened my cat... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynn Wilson Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 This is a good song that is very close to a good mix. The performances are rock solid, and I think John's ideas are worth trying. This will be stellar when you get it just so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Mix is close but in my furry opinion the vox is to loud or upfront, it needs bring back by 2 or 3 dB along with some compression to level it out a little without losing too much of the dynamic.. If you are after the old school Rock and Roll sound then you are pretty much there with the instrumentation, if you want a more modern sound then as suggested above some punchy parallel compression on the drums and bass will add that depth.

I don't have the time right now to do a full remix in Cakewalk, but I've been 'mastering' an album's worth of tunes for a local fella, and figured while I'm in stereo mixdown mode. Worst case... I get some free practice -Lolz Had to throw it in my Dropbox due to the size of the mp3. - Corona Blues - If you can get ears on it and hit me with some crits, it'd be appreciated. Lovely day to you guys (and gals), Ron Edited March 11, 2021 by Inthorns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Wookie said is spot on - but good track, enjoyed it Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
