Mix critique - Indian Electronica track.

[jkhuri44]

Gday guys,

just finished off a track for some folks i know, Punjabi folk female singer and a Carnatic Male vocalist....did an Indian meets electronica track with em.

Would like to get some feedback on my mix, before i put the cap on it....i tried uploading it onto the rec project forum, but it wouldnt let me upload it (too big)

So if anyone feels like downloading a 50mb file, here's the link to a WAV file:

I slammed it pretty hard with the L2...(yuck). But the guys were whinging about it being quiet..and i dont have an alternative at the moment.

Looking forward to ur feedback,

Jamil.

If you're thingy about mp3 you should look at some of the lossless format for compression. wavpack is excellent, it allows a file to be split in two parts, one of the parts is a lossy format, like mp3. If you have both parts it is completely lossless.

Hey Jamil, maybe the kick is a little too prominent in relation to the rest of the tracks, also I think the vox could be a touch louder ane brighter, just a bit, also all the instrument which come in in the middle could be dropped back a touch.

Though sounds good.

yo heath, that instrument would be the violin...

i listened to it sometimes and thought it was loud, and other times, and thought it was fine....BUT, ill turn it down now, for sure....agree with the vox too :)

Cheers for that

Jamil.

Jamil,
I had a quick listen on headphone thru PT and to me it sounds pretty good..
I'd make the bass/kick drum have a little more low end rumble - give it that worldly ground-shaking experience.
The violin is a little low in the mix as Heath mentioned - maybe the male vox could come up a little as well.
The female vox is ok - maybe some thickening with a harmony or double/triple tracking (Melodyne/Autotune for a quick fix) just to thicken it up and sit right behind the main female vox.
Just my suggestions mate - otherwise, nice work..
Tim..
