I had some spare time today so I finished up a cover of ACDC's "Gone Shootin". Give a listen and let me know how the mix sounds. Musicianship wise I know its bad. But sound wise, let me have it. I did two mixes. One I got a little more agressive with a master bus compressor. The other I didnt use much at all. Im playing all instruments and singing as usual, thats why its sloppy :) Anyway let me know if you like A or B better. Plus see if you can tell which has more compression (should be easy enough). Im on the fence about which sounds better.

Jan 18, 2009 05:51 am song B sounds better to me. i'll go with B for the xtra compression too.
Jan 18, 2009 11:06 am I'm gonna have to go with B too. I like the punch in the drums in song A, but it sounds to me like everything's sitting better in the mix in song B.

Jan 18, 2009 12:34 pm Interesting. B, is the one with more compression. I personally like A better. Its more dynamic, and I think in B the kick drum gets lost at times in the mix. If I had put a seperate compressor on the kick during mixing, it would be better. But B to me seems more dirty sounding (if that makes sense), and less dynamic. Its actually a few db's lower too. After compressing it I didnt raise the makeup gain (I forgot). Oh well thanks for the views. Maybe if I tweak A a little more it would be better. Im really sort of on the fence with them. I like the edge B has, but I like the clarity of A too.
Jan 18, 2009 03:20 pm A is a good deal louder. So depending on whether you were limiting on B would be which got the compression. I can hear the pumping in A on the drums. Like it that way, Guitars as well have a bit of it to them.
My personal preference would be a mix between the two. There was a pretty good amount of clarity on both mixes for sure. I think its just A is louder then B so it tosses of the perception a bit.
B is surely a bit clearer though.
Jan 18, 2009 04:30 pm I thought the guitars were kinda low in the mix, everything sounded pretty good though in both mixes. I thought B sounded a bit better/fuller.

Jan 18, 2009 07:58 pm I did have a limiter on both mixes. The only change between the two was more compression on B. And the fact I didnt raise the overal level to match the rms of A. You may have the right idea Noize2u. I'll back the compressor off a little on B or a little more on A and raise the overal level. Just split the difference and be done :)
Jan 19, 2009 09:37 pm I did a mix using parallel compression. If interested here is the link. I think it sounds somewhere between A and B . I like this one the best.

Jan 20, 2009 12:13 am Hrmmm, not sure if it's soundclick bugging up, but the parallel compressed track seems to have lost all its stereo width compared to A and B. It almost sounds like it was mixed down to mono to me.
Jan 20, 2009 01:46 pm Yep something is wrong. Fixed it !!! Sorry
Jan 20, 2009 08:48 pm Yep, fixed and good. Just what I was hearing in my head between the two mixes.
Sounds great. Gave it a lot more body, for lack of a better word at the moment.
Jan 20, 2009 09:42 pm Thanks Noize2u. Ive been getting alot of people saying my recordings are too clean. I guess thats good and bad. Good for orchestra music, bad for rock :) Oh well, maybe I should run stuff out to a cassette tape deck then back in to get that tape noise and analog feel. :)
