Hi guys,
Here is the deal. Earlier this month we recorded a 5 song EP in a studio. Last Friday they sent us the final mix of the first song and we hated it. So we asked for the tracks and they just sent them to us.
Now we need someone to mix the EP for us yesterday.
This time we don't want to commit to working with anyone before hearing that they can do a good job in our particular case.
Is anyone interested in doing a demo mix of the same song for us (a minute or 30 seconds is fine), so we can hear some mixes and decide which one we like best?
Here is the mix we got from the studio, so that you can get an idea of the style and what we DON'T want it to sound like. We need more of a wall of sound thing (which should be easily achievable if they hadn't removed 70% of the keyboards and one of the lead guitar parts).
Some other points of interest:
- We don't have a DI guitar track. The guitarist wanted this particular sound, so that's that. The guitars did sound MUCH better before they were mixed though.
- The drums have been programmed using Steven Slate Drums. A midi file can be provided if anyone needs one.
- All editing has been completed except for some of the backing vocals of the other 4 songs. If anyone is interested in doing what's left of the editing as well (meaning melodyne for my shitty backing singing) that would be cool. If not, I'll have to do it myself.
- The "tracks" they sent us are actually a bunch of folders with lots of reaper and audio files inside. So it'd be best if you work with reaper, so I don't have to export everything.
- Everything is recorded in 48 kHz, 24 bit.
