    loved this comparison video, good job for not being as biased as some engineers, because we have to remember, there is always somebody better, its only a matter of time., with that said!!!!!!!! mix 3 from the top down is hands down the cleaner, more solid motion frequencied mix, the elements are in the eyes of the ears.

    I listened to this in my truck. I didn't hear muchnof a difference as you were manipulating that bass signal. It was like you just took the edge off. As a bass player, I appreciate that you didn't squeeze every bit of dynamic from that signal.

    Listening on Kii Three. Mix 1 - can I have my money back? Mix 2 - very bad masterbus limiting. Makes my brain pump (that's an indication to me that the masterbus compression is bad) Mix 3 - Vocals too loud, in my opinion, and feels like the voice gone sounding weak. Uneven compression overall. Mix 4 - Like one sound guy once said - there's nothing to be ashamed of. IMHO Masterbuss compression is loud! Im just not a fan of loud mixes/masters. They're just too dull. No Air. No open dynamics. But thats IMHO. Mix 5 - can I have my money back? Please double it for making me listen to this horror.

    On the piano sustain issue you mention around 25:00, I kinda liked it. Reminded me of the kind of "cut off" arrangement The National would do on some piano tracks, making it less sweet and musical and more stuttery, anxious. I don't know about the original intent of the player, though. Very interesting exercise

    My buddy has a big studio with a huge ssl console and the reverb seems to be the thing the bands in the alternative rock world wants. It was strange to me at first but now I'm kinda use to hearing with these new bands he's been recording.

  • @LuckeGabriel
    @LuckeGabriel 2 дні тому

    Mix 5 actually reminds me of the mixing on The 1975s Part of the Band. It is not conventional, but it makes it stand out, and honestly, while yours and Mix 2 are still best, Mix 5 was way better sounding than the others, the others were very muddy.

      @RedbeardMaximus 2 дні тому

      My guess is Jordan subs to Slate Digital and/or Wave's subscription services. $15/month for Slate to get access to all those plugins when you do it for a living is a good deal. AFAIK FabFilter don't offer anything like that and what's the point in shelling out for Pro Q3 when Infinity EQ is likely just as good
