BEFORE & AFTER MIXING FOR CHERRY JUNE – THE END

Posted on by Stevebake

Give me one day and I’ll transform your demo into the finished beauty it should be. Thanks to Cherry June for trusting me with her nostalgic, dreamy, melancholy indie rock song that she recorded herself at home using Ableton Live. The demo had good foundations & the reference tracks I was given were so on the money! I’m a big Phoebe Bridgers fan and I loved helping this song inhabit a similar sonic space. ‘The End’ is out soon! Get in touch if you need some songs mixed, ready for release…

GUITAR MIXING TECHNIQUE – REVERB A TONE SHAPING TOOL

Posted on by Stevebake

So it turns out you can shape the tone of an instrument in a mix – in this case electric guitars – by processing the reverb. Room reverb is one of my favourite things to use in a mix to unify it and create a sense of depth and realness. This technique was partly inspired by the band The Walkmen who’s guitar sound is heavily dosed in bright reverb. Let me know if you have any feedback or ideas about how to use reverb as a tone shaping tool.

Pro Mixing Technique for adding warmth, density, energy, saturation and dirt to your music.

I’m using Goodhertz Tupe and Vulf Compressor (by Vulfpeck) and I re-amped the bass synth with Ableton Live’s stock amp & cab sim because synths through amps is the one!
