Oh Baby - Liza Colby Sound - GearFestPureMixContest

The first time I heard this song I fell immediately in love with it. It has all the elements that, in my opinion,  a rock n' roll song needs. Great guitar riffs, a magnetic bass groove and a fantastic strong voice. I knew then exactly how I wanted it to sound like. Tight, groovy, pretty straight forward and bright. I started with the drums which I did separately. Once I got it right I moved on to the bass, voice and last but not least the guitar. I did some basic "EQing" like the low cuts on every single track and some brightness. Then I started mixing starting with the drums and voice creating a nice balanced body. Moving forward I added the bass. At this point I had to be extra careful, because I wanted it to sound really thick, with a nice body, in order to create a very addictive groove. Once I achieved the groove that I had in mind, I started to punch in the guitar to fit just fine so that I could "air play it" whilst still feeling the bass.I am very inexperienced on mixing, I've only finished a diploma a couple of years ago and this is my second real mix. I have been working on a different area but studying whenever I can, still this was not a problem for me. Even though the total amount of time I spent on the entire process was about 10 hours, it went very smoothly. Having great stems really helped and I love music, specially Rock n Roll from the late 60's and the 70's

Liza Colby Band - Oh Baby - Romvlvs Mix - GearfestPuremixContest

Hello, PureMix.net team!

Thank you for the contest.

This is my version of mix ‘Oh Baby’.

Mixed in Steinberg Cubase 5 studio. 44100 / 32. 

Hardware:
PC
Focusrite Saffire pro 40;
Chameleon Labs Compressor 7802

Monitoring:

Speakers B&W 685, headphones Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro and Grado SR 325i, domestic speakers SVEN. Finally I checked the finished mix at my work with ADAM P22. I have done fine tuning EQ, limiting and convertion to  44100/16  of master file on ADAM.

Mixing

Plug-ins:

FabFilter Pro Q
FabFilter DS (Vocal)
Nebula 3
Antress Modern Plugins
Izotope ozone 4
Izotope vinyl
Waves CLA
Waves L1+
Waves C4
Waves RComp, RVox,REQ, RBass,RAxx.
Ferric TDS
Drumagog (for snare)
Altiverb (reverb effects)
SoundToys EchoBoy, Decapitator, Devil-Loc
Waves Puigchild 670(MasterBuss and Vocal) and Waves NLS (MasterBuss)

I tried to give it some vintage feeling. The Track Bass-Amp did not used. Bass-DI was processed by Chameleon Labs Compressor 7802 (little bit). Snare was triggered (because of leakage of the cymbals). A lot of plug-ins were used on all tracks. Effects: spring, plate, delays (send). "Room" was used on inserts and on sends. I used a lot of automation (volume, sends, eq etc.). I used izotope vinyl almost on all tracks (except VOCAL, KICK and Master buss) to give the song retro mojo:)
Waves Puigchild 670 on master buss compressed the mix with gain reduction approximately 1-2 dB.

My main goal was saving a vibe and emotions in this song.

Sorry for my English! :)

All comments are appreciated.

I researched Liza Colby's music a bit to determine the style of her band, singing, and sound of her mixes.  She seems to be all about "groove," and so I approached this with purity to the sound, as if her band was performing it live, without many added effects to distract from the instruments or vocals.

The vocal was very well recorded and needed only some basic spot-tuning on a few places.  After automating some hard-to-hear syllables, I used the Massey CT5 in limit mode to knock off a few transients, then the Softube TubeTech channel for some broad stroke EQ and compression.

The shaker/tambourine pans across the stereo field in random motions. I have a high pass filter and some high shelf EQ boost triggered to activate on that section to help it cut through the mix.

The bass amp and DI sounded very nice together.  After checking their phase relationship I EQ-ed for the bass to occupy the area between the kick and elec guitar, plus some attack in the 2k area.  The Transient Designer is great to bring out some of the attack when the bass plays those themes between vocal phrases.

I split the signal and used the Haas effect every so slightly.  The guitar dominates the left channel and is compressed quite a bit for sustain.  The right side is panned to about 40% and compressed harder so it doesn't distract, but helps to fill out the stereo field.  Both channels are EQ-ed slightly differently for diversity.

The drums were the most challenging.  Without seeing any photos of how the drums were miked, it sounds as if the overheads were not centered above the snare.  Also, it was difficult to position the toms symmetrically in the mix because of this.  The kick was nice, but the snare was a bit dull.

First, I gave the kick some 4k to simulate the pedal beater, and a paid a bit of attention to the 30Hz-200Hz areas.  Light compression and the Massey TapeHead made it punch nicely.

Next, I duplicated the overheads for parallel compression, but first adjusted the left and right levels in order to get the snare centered.  One version of overheads has the SPL Transient Designer bringing out the attack of the cymbal crashes, while the second version is compressed and EQ-ed to typical "overhead flavor."

The snare took some tweaking to get it to stand out of the mix.  A combination of compression and EQ, but it never would sit right until I did the following.

I bussed the entire kit to two aux reverbs.  The first had a studio drum room sound, which I treated like a room mic.  Short reverb time, compressed a lot!  This helped things glue together.  The second reverb was more of a typical reverb sound for the kit, although very little at all.

Once the reverbs were working I was able to get the snare to cooperate.  Finally, everything on a drum buss (without verb) was compressed with a Massey CT5, just lightly though.

The players and singer really mixed the album themselves in a way.  Very talented folks.  My philosophy, particularly from playing and producing bluegrass music professionally, is less invasive than modern pop and rock.  If a guitarist has invested thousands of dollars on a rig, he or she will probably want to hear it sounding similarly on a record.

This was a fun project and I hope my choices resonate with what the judges were hoping to hear.  Many thanks! - BluegrassDan.
