a new TSE song for you to mix ('Shadows are forming')

[onqel]

Here's a new TSE song for you guys to mix

Original mix http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1369729/onqel/TSE%20-%20Shadows%20are%20forming.mp3
My second attempt at mixing this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1369729/onqel/shadows2_090412.mp3


Full project HERE!

I included both wav and midi for the synths.. drum midi for superior is a conversion from addictive drums, and I haven't tested it out.
Song bpm = 125

Guitars are a bit sloppy as usual, anyway I hope it's fun to mix!

Onqel, thanks for posting this. Fantastic song, love it! I'm a noob at this stuff so here's my attempt and it's no where near the fidelity of your mix. Your mix is excellent. Glad I'm the first to post because that sets the bar quite low and it should all get better from here lol.

Think your mix sounds good. But way to dry for my taste. Esp. Strings and Jazz could use more Verb/Delay.

My go:

@ Onqel :

While mixing, I wonder what Vst instrument was used for the piano and violas parts ? the Piano feel very natural...

 

[Mago]

Great song again John!
Hope I'll find some time to try this out.
Your mix sounds cool!

Dimension Pro for the piano and strings .. i used the alien piano preset and removed the "alien" sounds, violins/violas are LASS

Only could check it o cans so far... Overall sound is well balanced i think. But i really wish to hear some epic hall verb on strings and synth stuff (Lexicon 480L Hall IR´s come to mind), delay on piano sounds alright though. I know it´s a matter of taste... Esp. on Orch. only parts your mix lacks some big verb tails at least for me.

You use compression on your drum-bus? Some more glue on drums (apart from my own) and mentioned reverb for Orch. stuff and your in the ballpark

BTW: I´m no native english speaker

Here's mine...

 

[onqel]

I updated my mix with the tips from MetalMiller I found some nice Lexicon 480l impulses after some googling .. I also worked a little more on the compression and eq..

[sjcortese]

Onqel, I hope someday to get to that level of quality. Sounds big and in your face. Excellent!

Yeah, it´s getting better. The 480 ir´s are great. "Fat Plate" and "Large Hall + Stage" are my fav´s. Also check out EMT 250 "e250": http://www.echochamber.ch/index.php/impulseresponses Really nice sounding plate!
