My 'best' mix just went up on YT

[Ermz]

Thought I might as well post this here. Felt it held up decently well under the brutalization that YT compression does to audio.



Haven't had much more radio rock clientele since we wrapped this - which has been kinda disappointing.

 

[Sickan]

Love both the song and mix so much!

 

[prostetnic]

Sure you wanna mix radio rock? Mix is brutal, congratulations! I love how your stuff sounds, please get into technical death metal so that most of the stuff I listen to is mixed by you

 

[P-E]

Sounds so huge and good. Hope you get more clients along these lines, you could really make their music shine.

I love this a lot.. both the song and the mix.

 

[Ermz]

Sure you wanna mix radio rock?

Absolutely. Don't get me wrong, I love metal (some of it), but most of the work ends up resulting in finding ways to increase separation and keeping it all together at really fast tempos or low tunings.

With rock/pop/song-oriented material there is an ebb and flow to the structure which I can help enhance with the mix. The track you heard up there is automated to high hell, and I love feeling that my mix is part of the performance. It feels a lot more interactive than the average metal mix does.

So yeah, absolutely, I'd love to shift over to doing more material like this!

 

[Lowberg]

Sounds beyond excellent Ermz, So much sonic win in this one. Everything sounds sexy as hell

 

[Star Ark]

Very cool !!

How much of the drum sound is real drums and how much is samples?

 

[joelplagues]

This CD is definitely rocking. I ordered it when it was first released just to check out your production more and it rips shit apart in all departments. still gets a spin round here from time to time.

 

[jangoux]

Loved those synth-y things. What did you use on that?

 

[NickL]

Overheads sound great

 

[Boerboel666]

Nice job congrats .

 

[SwambA]

Perfection! Great Job!

 

[Ermz]

Very cool !!

Toms and overheads are real. Snare is somewhat real, and I think kick I replaced 100% because the original was quite poxy. Toms sounded cool though!

@jangoux: The synths were done by the artist, so I wouldn't know. Just mixed them using all sorts of spacing/doubling/whatever effects.

Thanks for listening!

Reminds me a little bit of Linkin Park ... anyway, the mix sounds killer (but you already knew that).

 

[elmoe]

Pure win! This sounds awesome.

Good call, the main reference was Hybrid Theory.

Most people say either LP or Breaking Benjamin when hearing this song. Neither are wrong! Artist is influenced by both.

 

[Harry Hughes]

Always thought Hybrid Theory was a great sounding record, so good choice on reference there.

 

[Ermz]

That's fair enough. I'm not really the biggest fan of that record, but it seemed to match the music here better than anything else I had on hand.
