New Mix - Devil Wears Prada ish (Revalver)

[mike2205]

This is the last band I recorded. Finished it a week or so ago, they've just put it up on their page so I thought I'd share it. Let me know what you think?

Once again Revalver kicks major ass.
Reverb on everything does not.

This is a fantastic mix man. Can you toss up some info about the session? Interested in the drums.

Whats your signal chain on your guitar
and vocals

I would turn the vocals down a fair amount. Everything else sounds really good.

Turn the vocals down, it sounds like there's a verb on the entire mix.

Like the others, I'd say vocals need to be down. Also, the toms need a little more resonance, they sound like they end too quickly, and in the beginning, I'd turn up the backing guitar track that is under the lead guitar.

Great mix overall!

It's pretty obviously Slate drum samples.



Not a fan of the style at all, but the mix sounds good, minus the extreme verb on the background vocals.

This is a pretty cool mix. The guitars have something weird going on in the high end though.

I've already sent this mix off to the band and they've put it up and seem very happy with it so I'm not gonna be changing anything.

The drums are Midi programmed triggering Slate samples, I can't remember which samples exaclty as I mixed them down. The cymbals are real, sent to a bus then Compressed, Limited and EQ. Then another cymbal bus has Reverb and a high pass at around 1khz so I could control the high end on the mixer.

The guitars are TSS > Multiband Compressor (Sneap Settings) > Revalver (6505 Red Channel) into the onboard cab (Catharsis Fredman spreshigh). Lots of surgical EQ around 2-4 khz and a high and low pass.

Vocals are all compressed very hard on their individual channels, then sent to a bus with a Limitier > DeEsser > EQ > Reverb > Delay I think.

Cheers for the kind words guys. I'll take down the reverb a bit next time.
