Hey everyone.
I have a nagging problem in a recent mix that I just cannot resolve.
Here is the mix:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vboigtvmlw...aster.wav?dl=0
Now, you might find a NUMBER of issues with the mix, as you all know what you're doing and I'm working on my own stuff WHICH I HATE DOING (I mix other people's stuff just fine)...
But I am concerned about the vocals. At first, they were too "full" and taking up too much space. Then they were feeling totally thin. Now,
They are decent to my ears, it might be lacking body, and there is DEFINITELY this upper mid range weirdness.
I just recorded vocals for a different song, no issue.
I just recorded someone ELSE's vocals for their song, no issue.
Just this song.
One thing - these are first take vocals, and I was too close to the mic. There WAS a pop filter, but this one weird resonance is bothering the hell out of me. It still feels harsh but im too scared to take away the presence.
Am I hearing this wrong?
What would YOU do?
Is there a slate tutorial that would apply to this particular subject?
thanks guys!!! (And gals, and enby pals)
ALSO
someone did some mastering for me on this track, and it's like mine has this "cloudiness" compared to them. What am I doing wrong? I feel like this is a mix issue.
