Usually Cheap Jessie Bates III Jersey , at this part, my mix isn’t all that far off the mark, but many times there is something missing. A lot of times the tracks aren’t sitting right. Even though, I use all sorts of hidden delays and reverbs, the tracks don’t usually feel ?alive?.


Run Every Track Through A Delay


When the mix almost there, but just not quite right Cheap Billy Price Jersey , it’s time to fire up a delay on an aux send. Lately, I’ve been using a Waves plugin for this, but you could probably just about any delay. I like to use 2 taps and pan them quite wide. I’ll do a tap tempo to get the delay to fit with the tempo of the song. This is a great way of hiding the delay a little bit. Of course, if the song wasn’t played to a click and speeds up and slows down, you have to turn the effect down considerably.


I solo the delay aux send and, of course Cheap Michael Jordan Jersey , I hear nothing at first. Then I grab the kick drum and send. Of course, it sounds really stupid being ran through a delay panned very wide like this, but that is the whole point. Then I’ll grab the snare, overheads, toms, etc. You have to be very careful with drums because they are transient based instruments. This means that you will hear a pop…..pop…pop. If you were using a RMS based instrument such as strummed electric guitar Cheap Renell Wren Jersey , the taps of the delay wouldn’t be so obvious. So with that in mind, I keep the aux sends on the drums down very very low.


I go through the entire list of tracks until I’ve used pretty much every track on the session. I want every track to go through this one delay. If you do it right, you can get a nice blend between all the instruments in the delay channel itself. It sort of sounds like your in a bathroom at a live show or something.


Use An EQ To Suck Out the 125-400Hz Mud


After you have a decent mix, in the solo’d aux send, start to blend it into your tracks. You’ll probably find that drums have to be down quite a bit. You may also noticed that if your bass is loud in the delay, you’ll have mud city. This is certainly not going to do a damn thing for your mixes. So grab an eq and suck everything out between 125-400Hz. I get fairly aggressive with mine. I may suck out 12dB or more. This a trick that is designed to simulate naturalness on the final mix Cheap Ryan Finley Jersey , but that may require some unnatural tweaking and hardcore EQ usage.


Push The Limit, But We Aware There Is A Limit


You’ll notice that as you play with the delay send, that some instruments need more or less of it than others. I like to go back to my drums and push the limit. I turn the delay up too loud on the drums until it sound ridiculous. Then I back it down slowly. There is a magic point where the delay seams to disappear. That’s the spot I like. I don’t want to go any further down than that, though.
