Saturday morning mix workout.
They make really good recordings for that "Lab" series, but they're all live in the same room, lots of bleed. I can imagine what those tracks may have sounded like from the studio, more isolated. Revision 2, Keys Automation: phpBB [audio] |
This $*@! sounds good! Damn!

Good mix Lawrence. I thought I was listened in mono for a second at low volume but no.
Liked the balance a lot. |
I don't mind the bleed, the mix sounds good and balanced - well done job.

Man, think of all the effort many of us make to get isolated performances "perfect",
then buy reverbs, watch videos about using reverbs, balancing and eq-ing reverbs, making a mix muddled because of reverb, re-eq-ing tracks and reverb sends to fix all of that....and yada yada... To try to get our tracks sound like this! |
Interestingly enough, that's what the crosstalk knob in MixFX can do, create bleed and add some "glue" across tracks. The main difference is that with real mic bleed there is "acoustic support", air, the bleed isn't dry and It's also slightly delayed by different amounts depending on the mic positions, so that real "mic bleed glue" is more cohesive.
Unfortunately however, nothing in the DAW toolbox can fake the sound and groove of real musicians playing together and feeding off of each other in real time. In other words, live music isn't quantized and the tempo and performance dynamics are moving around, which makes it sound and feel much more musical than if it was produced on the grid with MIDI. And of course, the people who recorded those tracks clearly knew what they were doing, captured a really good overall sound (chose the right mics and positions) that doesn't require much if any "fixing in the mix". |
