Subtitles section Play video Print subtitles My name is Steven Roessner. I'm a professor at the University of Rochester in the audio music engineering department I am also a Grammy Award winning engineer and I mix and master and record For I've been doing it for probably too long But I enjoy it. I enjoy it. I love it it's very top-heavy and By that I mean there's a lot of high frequency content both guitars vocals the kick drum even is very clicky There's not a lot of like bottom ends to the mix like it's there. It's present But to me it's just this sounds like after You know five six songs my ears are started going to be fatigued because they're being assaulted with high frequency content All the time, but then again, that's a trait of this particular. Type of music This is a very wide mix Almost to the point where I feel like there might be some stuff, that's a little out of phase But it's not necessarily bad. It just seems like I have sounds that are outside the boundaries of the speakers and the stereo mix Vocals are just too loud. I think it's a combination of the EQ They're so forward that the rest of the band is kind of like Set back in the mix I like the song. I like the production the arrangement is really cool the way it goes from like really loud the chorus and then this electronic kind of versus I Just think mixing could be a little more balanced I Can hear everything clearly vocals sound great. I like the horn arrangements And their placement I get here to the guitar and then in the intro of the bass guitar doing the slap There's particular notes in that part where I feel like I don't know if I really like that because they pop out and they almost interfere with the vocals It's an interesting part, interesting sound, but it might be just a little too much It's a lot going on Its well mixed for what's going on In general when you're working with electronic songs or electronic samples, it's a little easier to mix because The sounds already pretty much set for you It shows up with the samples on the kick and snare and the synth stuff You're adding delays you're adding reverbs To make it more interesting or different than the stock sample This is a very playful mix, I'm getting lost in it which is a good thing There's a lot going on a lot to take apart. It's kind of fun to listen to Something I've noticed in all these songs so far. Is that pretty much anything rhythmic is right in the center Anything harmonic is way outside like guitars even like the guitars are also providing rhythm here, but they're mainly a harmonic instrument way outside delays and things Going every which way, but like kick, snare, everything's just always tight center. I Like that there's a slight back echo on the du du du du, it's very subtle, but very nice, very well done I'm lost. It's like a musical salad I'm going to go ahead and agree with the YouTube commenters that this might not have been their best foot to start off on only because It's like they're throwing in everything to see what sticks and production-wise The engineer... that's a challenge to make this all fit That was interesting what they did with the voice there, pitch shift up Not bad, might wanna try that on something I'm doing right now actually Seems pretty muddy And by that I mean there's a lot of Mid-range, that's just like fighting for attention So there's not a lot of clarity in this mix. It's all very Jumbled together. I can hear the vocals I hear things but they're all occupying the same space Vocals sound great right here, and the depth of field is very nice So the layers, the instruments, I can hear the stage kind of this way as opposed to just this way, I can hear this way and this way And it's very creatively mixed as far as like the vocals are center, and then on this chorus part They go wide and they're doubled There's a lot to listen to it's a really dynamic mix as far as like Stuff going on, everything is very clear everything's very nice Balanced it's not top heavy. It's not bottom. You know light. It's very Very well done I Kind of enjoy that that high hat almost like woodpeckery kind of thing that's going on. Yeah, it's it's a very It's it's a different take on that sound Usually it's a very Sharp thing and this has a little more reverb and a little more depth to it So I kind of enjoy that most of the time when you hear that. It's very precise and this kind of like fills in a little bit better Yeah, right here it seems like Something things come in that's like it becomes unbalanced to a point where it's like oh this is kind of distracting I Enjoy that they're not using traditional Samples, that we've heard through the other songs like I haven't heard really a sample that I've already heard before This is a very good mix so I I Feel like because I liked the mix of BLΛƆKPIИK and I like the mix of this whoever is heading this production, at this entertainment group knows... Knows what should be done I have a gut feelings that whoever decides like this song can be released they have a good ear
