Tim Smith Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 This is probably my first delve into Country Rock, which I really am beginning to embrace as a new favorite. Not all of my music has religious themes but this one does. After mixing it and coming back to it, it seems to be a bit sloppy in some places. If you can get past the intro the song livens up. After all these years mixing I still encounter issues with having a master that needs some control on the master buss of the DAW, so like any person who wants to make a good mix I will not drive limiters to the max, but try to keep it plenty loud. The headphone output on my UA Volt 4/76 is at about half volume and when playing my mix back through it my computer volume controlling it needed to be at 66% for me to be happy with the volume. After I dropped it into TRacks for mastering, My LUFs were ok and on to SC upload. Then the track seems to have less volume. I particulalry noted a difference in experience here between headphones and listening on my monitors since I did a lot of panning which sounds better on your ears directly. If I drive the track really hot it looses all dynamics which seems to be the only way to make it comfortable loud on SC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutrageProductions Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 As you mentioned, the intro is really a cacophony. Try to mute some things out and feed them in later in time as they become more in the pocket, before the vocals come in. Sorry to sound harsh, but this could be done better. You've got it in you...
