The Bankers Lament

Posted: Wed Aug 06, 2008 3:29 am

Hello all,
OK first the link: www.riversend.net.au/downloads/the_bankers_lament.mp3

I've been working very hard with the mix of this song: 'The Bankers Lament' - I think I've kinda lost perspective though. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated (especially the nit-picky ones i.e.: 'perhaps a tad too much 550khz OR X needs a few more % panning' etc).

I'm looking to have this sounding as professional as possible - though not too polished and clean, I want to retain a live, slightly edgy sound as well.

Thank y'all,

T. North

Interesting track dude. Cool sounds. A non-fatiguing sound.

Only suggestion I could make is that it sounds kind of far away. And not in the normal way. I only really noticed it when I walked into the kitchen from my listening position, it didn't sound like I had walked away from the stereo...

I dunno, when I got back I just kept thinking it was hollow, missing the richness that you lose when you leave the room... Yeah, nit-picky and not very helpful. Sorry.

Hi greener,

Believe it or not you helped me to discover the cause of all my mixing woes, you were right it all felt too reverbed, flattened everything - I later discovered that my room verb (through which every single track was routed) had been set to a 'hall' type verb. As soon as I changed that back to 'room' type, things started to fall into place.

Thanks matey!
