Re: MIX CHALLENGE - MC42 April 2018 - Mix Round 1 in evaluation

Thanks MOA22 for skillful comments. If I happen to manage to the second round, I must change my reference. Jeff Buckley's "Grace" is probably a bit too bright and thin.

Good song, great performance, pleasure to mix. I targeted my mix somewhere between CCR, Eagles and Jeff Buckley. Still I wanted it to sound wide and modern. So I guess I tried to make it modern retro. First I made a very quick rough mix. THen I gave to drums and bass the role I wanted them to have. ...
