Could also ask with what hardware you listened to the song? I’m starting to think I might have to buy a few other things to listen through.
Right now I’m mixing with a Beyerdynamics DT 1990 PRO and with Sonarworks to have the best neutral reference sound possible, but I think it might be dentrimental for me to only listen through this for my mixes.
Thanks a ton!!
For these jams I've been primarily listening through a pair of Sony MDR-V6 Headphones, which I also typically use for mixing. They should be pretty similar to yours in terms of having minimal frequency enhancements.
I would also agree with you that listening to mixes from different sources will help you achieve the sound you're looking for. Personally, I didn't find my (very minor) critique to be as prominent when I listened again through speakers.
Also, I just read in your Miro board that you're relatively new to mixing, and honestly I felt this was solid work if that's the case. I think as you start to get more comfortable with mixing, and thinking a little more critically about where different instruments sit in the frequency spectrum, you'll start to get a better ear for how to balance instruments in a mix. I still feel I'm learning new things about the mixing process several years later. Keep on practicing and doing your thing!
Hopefully this helps!
it helps a ton thank you. I learned to mix this week with two concurrent courses. The goal of this jam was really to make a simple enough piece so I could focus all the work on learning and executing a mix from A to Z.
I think like you’re saying having a few other devices might help but yours is definitely not a problem.
But one thing that is as important or even more than that though is developing my ears and getting experience. I can learn to mix all I want, I need to mix more things and start developing a ear for what’s good or not, the foundations work well enough so that’s good, now only time and more work will help, and I think that’s still obvious considering how many people gave me great feedback on the current mix overall.
Thanks a ton again for all the great feedback, I’m spoiled to have access to people like you in the community so willing to help a noob ❤️
