another one from the updated F1 Trilogy: "Bullet Train to Monaco"

completely new mix.
different drum kit and room treatments.
i may final tweak the kit a bit more.
i like the snare snap, but it may...be too much.

and i guess, a different approach to the mix.
it's quite a bit more in the face.
i think it works better this way than the demo i previously posted.

ok, updated.

heh, yea, this should have always been mixed more forward and dry,

the first pass (demo) was more roomy, bigger, and a little bit diffuse.

well, the samples i found for the train, the people noise, the station noise, they were all 'found' samples, and even tho i know how to stereoize that sh!te, i have found that whenever i try those trick, they sound 'clownphucked' to me, so i just take em as they are.

i'm really trying to get to that vibe of standing or sitting in a train that is moving at high speed,

you get the feel of extreme force and finesses at the same time..

and to me, well, in my music mind, that sound would be more personal, and it'd be more close and tight.

so, the mix is trying to reflect that.

maybe a really good mixer would have a completely different approach,

and when i'm trying to wear all hats, out of neccessity, 

sometimes it takes me longer to the obvious.

Bat,

I remember this one, this mix is much more in your face than previous version from memory.   Suits this style better.    I think you also changed the arrangement, I don't recall that break-down in the middle with the sounds effects.  Definitely a high octane trip.   Great stuff.

 

Regards

Bumpin for race day!

hey mark!

thanks so much for the time and for the listen

 

sometimes, a mix just has to percolate for a while....!

heheh

the breakdown parts were always there,

but with some magic parallel processing, i just brought them out more, made them more obvious,

and it puts you right in the middle of that train.... the stop to pick up more, let off a few, 

the speed of the vehicle is there...

 

and then when it stops, and i've got three guitars parts revving up to gear using the whammy bar... that was fun!!

updated mix.

 

i like that i can update mixes to bandcamp at will,

if anyone gets a copy, they can keep updating it if they're that interested...

eventually, the 'trilogy' will be released on the next album. i'm getting close.
