Task 6: mix the song that i have recorded with Finlay and Harry.
Before mixing
Before the track was mixed you could hear whispering at the beginning. The vocals were really quiet and you barely could hear them when all the instruments were playing.You could hear a lot of guitar on the track. I thought that there was too much bass and over all the sound was not very clear.
First Try
This is the first mix i did to the song.
What i did
These are the screenshots after adding EQ to each track. The basis of mixing is making the track sound the clearest it can. The way i tried doing it is through EQ. Once again i went through each and every track individually trying to make everything sound clear and brighter. I turned the vocals up so that you could hear them. Panning was added to the drum kit to balance it out.
Evaluation
Pros – The drums are sounding clearer and EQ was added to make the instruments sound fuller.
Cons – All though EQ was added to the vocal, the vocals were quieter that they should of been.
I believe that this needs more working on. What i wanted to do for next time was, work more on the vocals and mix them more and add effects to the vocals.
