Aight. I've really put alot of time and effort into this one. There will be a few small revisions. If you want a 320 of the final mixdown, Post here or PM. I'll update this thread in a day or two when the final touches are put on it. It's quite complete tho.
It won't be for everyone - it's definately genre bending. Early morning vibrations for sure. For when you can "see the sun". Very lush subtle melodic style.
For the producers - in this one I really tried to focus on the spacial qualities of a mix. I used light panning, reverb, EQ and compression in order to move things around and fit them all into the space, reflecting constantly on analogies of a photograph or film. While the main elements are relatively centered (drums and bass), I've accentuated the mix, by placing certain elements "behind" and to the left/right of those central elements. This gives sonic interest, as well as defining the space within which the song exists. The vocals are "wrapped around" the focal instruments, being set back with heavy reverb with little early reflections, mostly wet mix. Looking at a track like this has been one of the most beneficial excersizes in production. It ensured that I got it right - keeping the drums up front, and making me really think about and defining each instrument in the song.
