I took it as "what can I get done in short order without obsessing for a month like I normally do..." which meant pretty much au natural.
Grabbed it Tuesday, spent 2 hours mixing, 3 more hours second-guessing and learnin' to live with the mess I made.
The drums 'n bass was speakin' to me, so there's prolly way too much now. Tracks seemed 'thin' (to me) so all the comp'n was done in the low-end. Not sure who that voice is, but I think I've mixed something with her before? Anyhoo - loved it. Both of 'em. Guy voice, nice compliment - left it. Organ, too loud / distracting, buried it. Hi-hat from hell? Loved it, left it. Juno-60 sounding keys? Confused the heck outta me, at least as they were. Figured somebody wanted 'em in there (or they were a clever distraction) so I just put 'em where they made more sense (to me) in a kinda swirling 'round the toilet ending. Guitars... almost forgot to un-mute 'em, so when I did towards the end, I just made 'em fit with what I had going.
Lyrically, the only thing I noticed was the 'Save me' and eventually the "please doctor" (male vox was kinda buried) and I re-used that lil clip on the outta-whack ending.
Had to leave it sit yesterday (boy's graduation) and when I listened back this morning in the car, I figured I'd go ahead and put it up.
Speed and completion was kinda the issue for me, since it's a weak spot of mine. Is it done? Done enough, especially considering there's a load of mixes from everybody else. Didn't make sense to obsess over it, but rather "do what I do... and fast" then see what y'all think I did right or wrong.
Had a blast either way, and this'n pulled me outta lurk mode for the REP. Keep 'em coming.
loved it
