More Mixing techniques... For those that have followed some of my tips and techniques posts... Here some recent mixing work just released by Pop/EDM artist Svrcina. https://youtube/watch?v=7b8p1RpxYR4&feature=youtu.be In this track you can check out a number of the techniques Ive discussed in previous posts in action. Some of the things to listen for include: The use of high pass filters on the vocals and vocal FX. In the bridge listen various filter effects on the lead vocal delays. The other main and very obvious technique is the use of ever evolving lead vocal sound and fx. The EQ is not static throughout and was accomplished by splitting the vocal into several separate tracks. The delays and reverbs constantly change throughout course of the song. And you can plainly hear the addition of a slight vocal distortion effect added in only the verses. Vocal reverbs were all Exponential Audio LLC plug ins. Ive layered the original kick track that was sent to me with a couple of my own samples that change in various sections of the track. However, the biggest change I made in the song was the decision to add the hook vocal breakdown section that happens just after the bridge. The song came to me without that section there and I felt the song could benefit from the extra time to build up the final vamp. In this section Im using filter sweeps across several tracks to create the build into the final hook. Listen for the filtered and panning ld vocal that ends with the stutter effect on the last line. Ive always viewed my role as more than just a mixer. Sometimes I take the chance of making a drastic change like that without discussing with the artist or producer first. The worst case scenario is you remove it in 5 seconds if its not well received. On the flip side...you become the hero when they love it. Lastly, my new favorite box... Andy Eschenweckers Vertigo Sound VSM-2 Mix Satellite is across the stereo bus adding its magic making the mix big wide and deep through the use of its coloration channels. Fell free to hit me up with questions or comments after youve checked it out. CB
