Alan Evans Trio - I'm Coming Home, this is my mix and master of the ORIGINAL 16 studio multitrack stems!
This is a live studio recorded ONE taker, live multitrack recorded at the Telefunken studios.

Actually this was not a hard mix for me to do and I'm satisfied anyway :D

I LOVE to mix funk and jazz-funk especially when there's a Hammond in the mix (maybe while I play the Hammond myself?)

Tried to keep as MUCH as possible of the original dynamics, added tape where necessary, together with some extra ingredients the mixing was a big pleasure, Alan Evans Trio gents...

Malenky Slovos - Matterplay, entirely new mix, using the original studio recording multi tracks.

The mix is based on the smaller dynamic ratio of the tracks then the first mix, due to the nature of this song / kind of music. So I have been very strict in handling the max levels and later diverted the dynamics

As promised I added the extra 1 octave down bck vox on "hysteria", additional bck vox have been "choired" (made a choir of each of the solo back vocals)

For fun I added an extra spooky intro to give the song a Gothic start, made it, manually reverse your own voice with Melodyne.

Please let me know your comments on this mix.

Cheers,
Luc

The Long Wait - Lookout Mountain
Mix of the original studio multi track stems (19 tracks)

Nice job to mix this song.

Slightly corrected lead vox (Melodyne) and 4 x bck vox (Nectar)
Added a new midi bass, based on the original track, while the original track was not always consistent (added Xpand2, roundwound)
Lead singer has a very dynamic voice (what is very ok hahaha), bit difficult to compress.

Fairly satisfied about this mix.

Cheers,
Luc

The Long Wait - Lookout Mountain-Master

This is the way how I mix and master 1 take live studio recordings ;-)

Multitrack Telefunken Studio recording - 15 multitrack stems.

(Gear Pro Tools 12 + a load of HW and coffee hehehe)

The "Java Live Sessions - Telefunken Studios" Recorded 1 take live sessions. (Therefore some slight phasing issues in the drum OH track)

Nice song, some messy musician errors in the beginning on the mutitrack stems, but that's where sound engineers are for! :-))

Nice Classic, played very well

Cheers Luc

Here is my mix and master of the original Studio recorded stem multi track files.
When I heard it there was just one way: Mix it like The Middle Of The Road.
The only reason for that: I'm an old fart just lucky enough to have enjoyed the fab 60's  hahahaha ;-)

Did my best to make the best out of these beauties.
Conventional mix, added 4 harmony voxes to complete the vox stems and correct to my believe the intentions of the writers AND artists of this song.

Enjoyed this band very much, keep on going :-)

Cheers,
Luc

The Wrong'uns - Rothko - My mix and master

Turkuaz -Tiptoe Through The Crypto

This is my Mix and Master of this great Funk rock band.

From the original Telefunken Studios multi track stems (24 tracks)
Conventional mix, treated as a big band. Distinctively  ducked / pumped dynamics to get the Hammond more alive, giving the exact the right boost to the song where needed. Given much attention to the lovely lead Vox bomb ;-) and the brass section.

A joy to mix and master.

Pro Tools 12.2.1, and the right hardware and software plugins, loads of coffee and fun. Keep on going guys !!! :-))

Cheers,
Luc

Heya all,

Jessica Childress, this sweet lady, is known from The Voice and is a well known soul singer.

Here's my mix. Of the original (Telefunken) studio multi track stem files. It whas a bit of a challenge for the bleed of the instruments in this studio one taker, the plops, cracks, funny and strange overhead recordings.
I have tuned all the backvocals (Nectar2) for they where not in perfect harmony all of the time

Tried to make the best out of this nice song and let it sound (an attempt to anyway woohaha) like end of 70's disco music.

Gave some special attention to the mutual dynamics between bass, guitar and grand piano, Lead and bck vox while many times in discomixes the proper balance between 
dynamics can dissapear very quickly in the mix.

Cheers and enjoy my production

Hi out there,

Here is my  mix of Little Chicago's Finest - My Own.

Mixed from the original 24 multi track studio stem files.

Didn't like the harsh piano (sorry LC Finest), so transformed piano1 and piano2 into 2 midi tracks and mixed piano tracks with some airy like light sounds.

Hope you like it.

Cheers,
Luc

Little Chicago's Finest - My Own- Luc's mix

Zwiepack is an initiative of Christian Bolz, lead saxophonist of the German Jazz bigband Spektakulatius. This is my mix and master of the very modest, true and beautiful version of Summertime, Chris is playing: Jazz how jazz is meant to be I think.

Chapeau Christian :-)) again a great sounding performance.
This production I used the original multi track stems files of Christian's studio recording.
I am very satisfied with my mix, the aim was to get you the sensation of standing in an old fashioned jazz club hall, attempting to let you taste the ambiance of it...

For the interested sound engineers: All tracks original dynamics (and dynamics are present in this recording... PEEEUWW) are respected and untouched while dynamics is what jazz in essence is...

I treated Christian's sax tracks with the highest caution and payed very much attention to the side chain reverb: I created a dedicated 'only wet' reverb channel (reverbtime 5000ms ayayayayayayyyy) and ducked this channel with Chris's own dynamics, derivated from one of the two dry sax tracks as reverence.
And as you engineers likely will know, a ducked reverb side chain on the lead will do wonders, especially in one taker jazz studio recordings ;-) The last sax note becomes sooooooo sweet....

Cheers,
Luc


Zwiepack - Summertime jazzclub mix and master Luc van der stap

Hi there folks,

Encountered this very nice song and immediately I got flashbacks from the 80's

Mixed and mastered from the original studio recording stemfiles (10 tracks) multi tracks.

So thats the way I felt about this song, so thats the way I tried to get that 80's atmosphere into it, a bit Simple Minds

Cheers,
Luc

Boogiesnakes - Its My Right

Boogiesnakes has been working hard developing a unique style all of its own. The band takes its various blues, funk, jazz and rock influences to create one great sound.

I take it as an honour to have been able to mix and master this great funk rock song from the original studio multi track stem files. 20 tracks recording.
Not an easy song to mix to be honest, it certainly needs some special care.

My approach of this mix is based on funk rock (not only rock) which I believe the style is (even a bit jazzy)

Anyway I hope you like my mix guys, keep up the good work and wish you many, many funky gigs ;-)

Cheers,
Luc
