ivankiss Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 I am a minimalist when it comes to EQ and compression. I like to cut more than I like to boost. And when I do, never more than 3db. Compression ratio 2 to 1. Just so that it's grabbing the peaks. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 I play around with the attack and release knobs, using my ear only, instead of some kind of a formula. Its what creates texture. Give the mix some pump. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 The guitars are a bit too shy, too thin. The piano needs some sparkle, a boost anywhere from 5 to 8khz. Strings need more bite. For the bass I'm pretty sure I'm going with a completely new preset. I might also layer my kick and snare. Because why not. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 Lost of pretty classical elements meet modern progressive rock grooves. That's what's going on here. It's quite challenging to balance the softness with the bulkiness of the sound. But I can do it, of course. Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivankiss Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 I am mixing the final track of the EP. It's called "Vortex". Once I'm done, all I have to do is apply the same parameters to the rest of the tracks. I might just lay them all out here, instead of writing them down in my notepad. It's not like you will understand anything. It's incredibly high level musical genius nerdery language. Far more advanced than your everyday nondual gibberism.
