Mix study

@mixstudy-blog

This blog is a notepad of the songs I hear in my music collection on a daily basis and what I notice about them . As a sound engineer seeking Golden Ear status I will attempt to dissect the mixes and by doing so, train my ears to appreciate the high quality work of the mix engineer. I may use video's and mp3s or reference with words and pictures.

Brandy Never say Never

Wow super clarity and separation on this mix, makes me wanna do a mix and put every instrument thru its own waves s1 to see if I can match it

So much high end in this track Hats, strings, bells, But brandy's voice cuts thru every thing very airy and shrill , abbey road brilliance pack plugins come to mind

the chorus is panned very wide too with not much in the middle

The amount of times shes says the word say and no sign of siblence, did they de-ess or is she that good

E.V.E Tambourine (Ignore Videomix)

fat mix!!!

Totally insane loop with very catchy shaker rhythm

Big lush strings

Toms, claps, snares, loops, stabs, strings, shouts, etc. only thing missing from this tune is some scratching, very full. excellent separation in the mix

I may have hesitated to pan that snare loop to the left speaker

theres a open hat hiding in the back too
