Dio Tribute "Stand up and Shout" Song Discussion

Haaaaa!! :hotjump:

Much better than my mix! Especially the drums. Your version sounds more modern - my version more classical.

Loving the punch on the snare and how the bass is hearable. Fucking great job! You even fixed that tone on the first solo

This.



I'm loving that Piece Of Mind tom fills.

Thanks guys! I have to lower the bass just ever so slightly, it pushes just a little too much to my liking.

I had to tune the solo a bit, it was "slightly" off..

Jevo: what did you think about the guitar sound? I cheated a little: mixed your very first guitar sounds with my last re-amp.. Had to play around with phase to get them lined up.

I'm gonna give a new mix soon (today?), nothing too drastic, just a little nip'n'tuck.

 

[Max Morton]

Great mix, great vox!
Great work, my congratulations!

Haha it was a "Dave Murray bending" (a little bit under the aimed tone), actually with intention played by me. Nevertheless I have to admit, it sounds better now. Good job!

Great mix, great vox!
Great work, my congratulations!

Thanks dude, glad you like it

Glad you like it. I have no problem with "off" bends and such, if they sound good in the context. This one... not so.

Yeah I see, it was a bit too far away from the aim tone, I guess. Like I said, it sounds better now. I´m very satisfied how you embedded my solo in the mix.

Well, I'm at the office with some earphones so i can't judge it, but seem to be great.

Cheers! I listened to your mixes, and must say this song is fucking kickass. The vocals are beyond all doubt great, and the backings are awesome too. I´d like to give it a shot. Am i allowed to download the files and post a mix here? Thanks..

nice to see people doing test mixes of their own, I'm gonna go ahead and encourage that, after all it's the team who will decide the final mix, and if by chance one of the "outsiders" does a mix that everyone in the team really likes, it could stay, once again, totally up to the team (in other words, the guys who recorded the instruments)

 

[Felix Neumann]

^I´m totally okay with that, for my part! No problem with the fact, other guys trying some mixes.

Thanks dudes, for your compliments about the vocals btw

A little something extra..

 

[Felix Neumann]

Oi!!!!!!!

You completed it. You are the man

 

[MetalMiller]

Alright, here´s my attempt. One thing i noticed is that the vox have a fair amount of room. So it is hard to make them fit to the rest. And i have to work on the toms, cause i was to lazy for editing. Kick/Snare are blended with some samples, but i could post an all natural mix. Anyway comments are very welcome.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that... Felix, you didn't make my life easy!

I had to balance carefully with several comps in series and with some delays/reverb/harmonizer to mask the room a bit. And I had to cut the beginnings and ends of the vocal lines a bit more tightly than I normally would.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Maah sorry guys, I don´t have a vocal booth :/

 

[DanLights]

Just want to say Jussi's mix is awesome, I think you guys may have a keeper on that one. Haven't heard the other guy's mixes, sorry, busy with my own band and all the other songs on this project, monitoring everything. Anyways, great job to everyone involved on this one! And let me know when you have your final mix ready to submit

 

[Jevil]

Bump

 

[vespiz]

Hot damn I have to bounce the final mix at some point!

Tell me what you think? Not that much different from the last one, but due to some technical difficulties (damn pc's..) I had to open the session on another computer and do some tweaking.
