March Hare track with mixing tutorial video

[Splat88]

Hey gents, I posted this song in the Rate my Track section, but I've uploaded a video of the mix if anybody cares to check it out. Details about equipment are in the youtube info if interested. Hope you enjoy!

That sounds fantastic. I wish I could make my own music sound even half as good. The bass sounds immense!

Being a noob, I didn't really understand the tutorial but I'd love if you could explain how you got that amazing bass sound.

Awesome work.

 

[Splat88]

Thanks dude. The bass is very simple. There a stock preset in the PODX3 called Pawn Shop Punk. The only changed parameter is the low mid control which I maxed to 100%. That's it. The post processing you can see in the video. Each bass guitar will have dramatic affect on the tone, however. I used a Soundgear Bass with active EQ, but the EQ was zeroed.

Hi Splatt

Could you tell us which samples used for Kick and snare please ?

And did you used parallel compression for drums ?

Thanks

 

[AudioGeekZine]

man this is perfect.

How have more people not responded to this??? Sounding awesome, where are the vocals?

 

[hurdy]

Fuck that sounds really well done, awesome job dude. Ear candy

 

[Manicompression]

Sounds so good. I like that you do these mixes on a pretty modest setup, its always a kick in the ass that I have so much to work on and its not the equipment holding me back.

 

[Terminus]

Damn that's some hefty gclip on the snare. Sounds great though, I have never clipped it that hard.

Could you tell us what samples used for Kick and Snare ?

I see 2 Aptrigga instances on the Kick and 1 Drumagog on the snare.

I notice a very minimal Mastering treatment on the mix buss, but the finished song is massive... is this just a premix and the tutorial doesn't show the Mastering treatment ?

Still one of my favourite ever ITB mixers Splat!

There's one trigger on the kick and two on the snare. They are the Paramore kick and snare samples I found floating around here quite a while ago, and one Slate snare sample. The kick is 100% sampled, while the snare is mainly the Superior snare mixed about 50/50 volume wise with Slate's Chili snare as the first trigger, the the Paramore snare ducked in at 16% for some body.

And what you see in the mix buss is all the mastering I did with the exception of volume limiting.

Edit: actually that's not true, I forgot I used Kramer tape on the mastering buss before the limiter.

Although I think the track is very repetitive and the harmony is basically stagnant it sounds so good I listened to it repeatedly for 40 minutes.

Thanks, I think... This was written to have vocals as the forefront, not as an instrumental, for what its worth.

On a more serious note, i'm very happy to see some new March Hare stuff posted, can't wait to listen to this at home tonight !

EDIT : listened to it finally : i loved the White Poney-ish mixes you got for the previous songs you posted, but this sounds great as well, production and music !
