    Do you think it's lacking a greater impression of depth?
    That could be because I wanted to mix this ska-punk-like track rather dry, except for the little intro, because I flooded most of my previous mixes with reverb (I couldn't hear and adjust the right amount of reverb due to my previous equipment and my lack of understanding how to mix better and more precisely).

    Yeah, by dropping some instruments to the back or moving some to the front, you create the feeling of a room and giving it a lot of depth. Some vst instruments offer you to mix with different microphone positions, but if you don't have that option, there's vsts like Tverb/Berlin Studio/ocean way studios etc., that let you mess with the dry/wet signals. That can sometimes work much better than adding reverb, since it preserves the clarity and if you want, you can still slap the reverb on top in the end.

    4) Hm, you think the electric bass deserves more low end in this track?
    I just had this deeper electric bass setting before - but then I decided to let the kick drum have most of the low end frequency range for a cleaner mix and use a small low-cut filter on the bass instead to turn the electric bass a bit more into one of those funky radio-rock electric bass presets.

    I'm not sure, how it's handled in rock music. What works for me is again placing the instruments in the room in different positions. I use iZotopes Ozone Imager for that, it's free, I use that on almost every instrument to place it in the mix and in the end I fix the frequency issues, for example low-end heavy stuff are centered and instruments with higher frequencies can be stereo. And if it still doesn't work, I try to sidechain the bass or work with layering kickdrums to seperate low and high frequencies.

    "Will I still like it the next day?"

    I have that too, at 3 am it's still insane and I wake up at 12 to find out it wasn't insane at all haha

    Vocalist+Lyricist needed: DKC1 Aquatic Ambiance Remix

    in Recruit & Collaborate!

    Posted

    Hi everyone,

    I'm working on an ambient breakbeat remix of the "Aquatic Ambience" theme form DKC1.
    I have outlined the majority of the percussion and synths so far. This is the current WIP:

    I need a vocalist (mezzo-soprano), who can cover the range, that piano plays from 1:04 onward til the end and I also need a lyricist, who can write a fitting lyrics.
    There might be one or two more vocal parts, but I'm still working on it.
    Vocalist recording should be clean, since the vocals will be in the focus. Also have some pitch correction software ideally.

    If you guys know someone, who would like to work on this project, you can also help me network and respond below! :)

    Best regards!

    I really like your arrangement, it has a very happy and positive vibe to it and I think you did a great job! I also dig the transition at 3:06.
    If you don't mind a little feedback, in my opinion you could give your track more substance by filling in the complete sonic space.
    At the moment it feels like it's just panning. You could move the brass more to the front and give them a touch more dynamics and transient designing to cut through the mix better (brass tends to sound synthy and flat without dynamics)
    A bit more low end on the guitar, that plays the bass parts would also add some punch!

    Best Regards!
