Title: Mixing Reference
Post by: jake z on February 13, 2018, 04:23:27 PM

Lately I've been digging youtube's mixing videos and somehow, I can sense the improvement in my mixes.

So far, here are the reference tracks that's giving me a hard time mixing my stuff.

1. Altered State - Tesseract, Mixed & Mastered by Acle Kahney& Amos Williams
      - super clean, low ends are booming and the vocals are just perfect.

2. Handmade Cities - Plini, Mixed by Plini and mastered by Ermin Hamidovic
      - perfection.

3. Periphery 3 - Select Difficulty - Mixed by Misha Mansoor & Adam Getgood, Mastered by ermin Hamidovic.
      - sounds like the band playing live, big drums and guitars and in your face vocals.

4. The 1975 - Mixed by Mike Crossey
     - layers and layers of everything.


Local Scene:

1. Angee Rozul - From Cheese to mostly the successful OPM bands.
2. Point Bee Multimedia - Autotelic, Earth Mover & UDD.
3. Emil Dela Rosa
4. Eric Perlas - TOD


Any suggestions on other music to reference when mixing or sound engineers to follow?

Now how do you guys use these? Add it on a track then lower the volume? Since naka-master na yung track? Or do you use those frequncy analyzer things na mahirap intindihin? Hahah

Kinda both.

Separate busses tapos analyzer. Mas madali  mag master kung may reference track. Lalo na yung mga spots na need iboost or cut ng eq.
