Bronze Radio Return - Mister, Mister (telefunken mixing contest)

Bronze Radio Return - Mister, Mister

  Hi there...!
  This is "Oh Baby" from "Liza Colby" , mixed for Gearfest Puremix Contest!

  I love recording and mixing and this contest was a very nice think to take place in my day!
The mix of the track take place in my home.
I work with YAMAHA hs80 speakers and Beyerdynamic DT770 pro headphones plugged in a RME ADI2.
Cubase 5 is my DAW and here is a list with the plugins i use at each channel:
  
  1.KICK ---------------->Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - C1 gate - API 2500 - API 550B (i cut off some low end and keep the hi-med attack straight)
  2.SNARE ------------->Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - API 2500 - API 550B (try to keep it clean)
  3.OH ------------------->Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - API 2500 - SPL transient design - API 550B(most of this proccess made for toms, i try to bring out every tom's tone)
  4.OH B ---------------->Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - API 550B - MAAG EQ4 (dublicate channel to make cymbals more clear)
  5.BASS AMP --------->Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - API 550B (very nice bass sound!maybe was the bass players so good! cut off the low end a little and high cut the bleed from cymbals)
  6.BASS DI ------------>Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - API 2500 - API 550B (keep the "pick" sound only)
  7.GUITAR AMP ------>Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - API 560 (make it straight for mono area)
  8.GUITAR AMP B ---> Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - API 560 (dublicate channel to make some stereo fx)
  9.VOC------------------>Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - API 2500 - MAAG EQ4 (great source! some extra air and ready) 


GROUPS :

  DRUMS GROUP (kick, snare, oh, oh b) ---------------> API 2500 - Voxengo Gliss EQ2
  BASS     GROUP (bass amp, bass di) -----------------> API 2500 - MAAG EQ4 -API 2500(this one for sidechain with kick)
  GUITAR GROUP FX (just channel 8 for stereo fx)---> API 560 - PSP NITRO(little chorus) - MonoToStereo
  GUITAR GROUP ALL (guitar amp, guitar group fx) -> Voxengo Gliss EQ2 - PuigChild 670
  VOC       GROUP (voc , fx 1) -------------------------------> PuigChild 670
  

EFFECTS : 
  
  FX 1 - LEXICON PCM HALL : a small hall for vocals
  FX 2 - LEXICON PCM VINTAGE PLATE : a plate for snare, oh and guitar 
  FX 3 - H-Delay : a fast delay for vocals
  FX 4 - PSP NITRO : a fast delay for guitar
  FX 5 - PSP NITRO : a long delay for guitar solo

  

MASTERING : BRAINWORKS BX DIGITAL -> MASERATI GRP -> PSP XENON


Now, some of the thinks i didn't like from this recording was the mic placement of the overheads, since there is no other mic for toms.
