So did anyone ever hear a dry (without plugins, hardware, editing) mix from a pro?

[jhrv]

i also forgot the mention it will be difficult trying to find a pro raw mix due to copyright stuff and the fact that that band will most probs not want a raw mix of theres going around the internet.

i think the best way to experiment is if we all start another thread were we can post some of our best mixes with all the sends, plugins, EQ's and stuff turned off. (including drum replacement tools)

this way we'll get a good idea of what were all doing.

Good idea!

I'm no professional, but here's the first actual example regarding this thread

Mixed and automated:

The same song as above, but completely untouched original recordings with all automation, effects, group tracks and everything disabled (master fader taken down to -4.5 dB because of peaks):

haha even know there was a keyboard being played.. (listened to the second one first)
this really does show just how much drum replacement tools save our asses lol

its a real shame that you cant undo all the fader movements and the volume adjustments you made. so the only differance you will here in the mixes are the eq,FX and maybe some limiting stuff.

he's my input!

Before:

After:
http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/12477_wedoo..master.mp3

there quite a sound differance, but the levels are the same.. and there was loads of level sorting and normalizing to do on this track.

i'll put up a metal one soon lol

Bob Katz will get you when ya sleep

Bob Katz will get you when ya sleep

hahahahahahaha! it was forced upon me lol some of the levels were REDICULASLY low! no matter what i tryed to make them louder. it didnt work.. so i fell back on normalising one or two.. and it sounded fine
