Need quick help with a live mix. Deadline today!

[Ola Englund]

Boy do I need help today, I forgot the deadline for extra material for our single was today :Smug:

So I need some fast pointers on this live mix I did for Scarpoint. It doesn't have to be ultra-PRO but it has to be listenable.

Appreciate the help guys.

I'd try to make the snare a bit less like cardboard, maybe compress it more and give it a bit more of scoop. Kick could be more present as well. Everything else sounds tits!

I agree with Erik. I didn´t found anything objectionable, I´m diggin´the mix. Good work!

It already sounds pretty good for a live recording, just clean up the low mids a bit more, boost some high freqs on the overheads around 8-12khz just a little more and use some reverb on the snare and especially vocals to get a more natural feel.

Also you could try brightening up the kick, snare and toms a little (maybe 0.2b-0.3db).

When the vocalist is talking near the end of the song, remove the muddiness out of his vocals.

Other than that it sounds listenable exept from the vocals. How did you process them?

It might work with some reverb as I said but right now they sound a bit too harsh imo.

Hope this helps.

sounds good.

Live mix as in: at a show?

or.... everyone playing together in the studio at the same time?

yeah, work on that snare. use a transient designer to give it more attack and sustain. also boost some of the high end.
everything else is cool as it is! like the song!

if you need a quick master, i can help you out to make it a little more impactful. cheers!
