The Browning - Not Alone (I recorded it, mixed by Cameron Mizell of Chango)

[RandomAwesome]

Hey guys,

I very rarely have my recordings mixed/mastered by other people, and I just wanted to get an outside opinion on something I recorded that was mixed and mastered by someone else.

Those guitar's sound really thin and low in the mix compared to everything else. The overhead's sound good and the drum's sound good. But those synths are to loud compared to everything else. I bet your mix would of came out better. No offence to Cameron's work but his stuff is hit or miss

Definitely agree with you man! Synth stuff is too loud, vocals are buried. Guitars are very thin. The master sounds like its distorting!

 

[RandomAwesome]

Yeah, I heard that distorting too.. I thought maybe it was just the youtube vid... :\

The low end of this mix is like applesauce

 

[Jarkko Mattheiszen]

Very strange mix. Could be exactly what the band wanted, but definitely not my cup of tea.

 

[RandomAwesome]

hahaha, applesauce? I love applesauce, and coincidentally, I'm cleaning the fridge right now and there's a 6 pack of applesauce in here from when The Browning were out, lol!... is that a good thing or bad thing?

 

[lolzgreg]

I like applesauce, but I cannot hear anything going on in the low end of this mix by any means.

 

[aramism]

yeah this mix isn't all too hot. seems like you should've mixed it yourself. the mastering is also poor.

 

[olif8]

Sounds exactly how I'd expect a mix from Cameron to sound.

Still can't get over the irony of needing to hit 'like' to play a song. It's like the definition of catch 22. You can't know whether you like it unless you listen to it in the first place.

Yeah to be honest I instantly close the window if this occurs, won't even listen, seems totally presumptuous.

Same reaction if I see bands on my news feed begging for 'likes' instantly go over there and asshole-fu them by disliking them.

 

[DeclanWhite]

probably one of the better mixes ive heard from him hahha

 

[angryoldsoundguy]

How does everything sound compared to the original tracks you recorded? Do you know if he reamped the guitars or triggered different drum sounds?

 

[RandomAwesome]

Yeah, he reamped the guitars and used a different kick sound. I believe he used the rest of the drum kit I recorded, but everyone mixes live drums differently.

 

[AllanD]

Listened to it, meh. Also just so you guys know, when you like it the page automatically reposts it on your feed.

HAHAHA! Tricky bastards!

 

[Toxic Grind Machine]

I really like how vocals are not too loud, synths are in the lead and the rest comes behind that.. nice!
It's great material as well btw, love this band.. dont like how i have to "like" it before i even listened to it though.

Also, it's clipping when things in the low end department come together.. weird mix, but good music!

 

[RichMinerva]

josh i believe you could have done better!

 

[RandomAwesome]

It's definitely a lot different than the way I'd mix it. I'm thinking about tossing my own version of "Not Alone" up on my player once I get around to updating it. The drum tones we got from their drummer were soooooooooo amazing, but they sound totally different now :\
