Listen To Proximal Vicinity- Short Bus Mixing Comp Cinematic Song By Ensam At Looperman.com

1st Sep 2014 17:02 - 10 years ago
Description : My entry into Short bus music mixing comp. I just tried to keep it simple and bring out as much as i could from the tracks provided. I did pitch the piano up an octave to make more space in the low mids but that was as drastic as it got other than eq, comp, delay and panning fx with some automation etc etc. Hope you like.

If you have time take a listen and give Ensam some feedback.

I really like the pitched up piano and everything else in this mix is also more than solidly done!:)

I appreciate your kind words but I can't take credit for this track as its part of a mix and mastering competition, here's the link to the forum thread.

I am sure Barry wouldn't mind if you put a vocal to it just please post it here on Looperman and post the link.

Thanks again

I listen to your masteredup version of this song after i did my own versions.

This is a diffrent version of the SBM track and it was a intresting idea with this pichedup piano. But it makes the track in my ears/eys a bit too shiny.But maybe it isnt realy the piano.......
What i realy love is the drum part. The bassdrum comes very nice.

Cool work

stay tuned

This encouraged me to go back to my entry and try a lot harder. The piano pitch up was a very clever move but if everyone then went and did it we'd be accused of plagiarising :)

Hey Ensam :)

Really good idea with shifting the piano up.. definitely adds more sparkle and gives you more breathing space.. wish I thought of that now lol. I also like how you managed to vamp up the kick drum and get it to stand out.

The only thing for me really would be that the woodwind at the end was a little over-powering, but not by a great deal. Good job man!

Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. I hear you on the woodwind thing but it really caught my attention as a stand out part a bit like the melody from the original War of The Worlds theme tune (showing my age now).

Thanks again

Simon, beautiful work!

The pitching of the piano was a really smart move because there were a lot of things occupying the mids. Love the delay on the percussion. You cleaned up all of the timing issues. I think the most impressive thing is the amount of clarity given to each instrument, and then the outstanding use of dynamics to build to the end.

I knew you would set the bar really high for the others, and you did just that. This shows just how good a great producer/arranger can make a song in the studio. You illustrate that even when given stems that are not quite up to standards, a gifted engineer can make them sound really impressive.

I thank you for showing just how good this one could sound. Bravo my friend. It will be fun to see how the competition responds to this terrific effort.

I hope all is well with you and the family.

I'm enjoying your take on this track very much! It's nice to listen to this before I start working on my mix effort. Has some really good panning going on, and overall the mix is nice and clear. Timing seems good too. The electric guitar has a nice tone, haven't heard the stem for it yet, but I'm assuming you improved upon it. Good work!
Ensam
Ensam replied 1st Sep 2014 - 10 years ago
thanks mate I appreciate your kind words, I'm looking forward to hearing all the other versions. As for the guitar its only eq and compression and for the last section I doubled it up and panned it L and R a little to make space for the strings and woodwinds.

Thanks again

Description : Ok...here it is! Another colab with maestro Tumbleweed! Ed provided the unfinished, basic track...I composed and recorded the long intro using different synths and then added piano (well to the fore) and some brass arrangements along the rest of the track (no violin this time...hehe) and then did the final mixing to wrap it up as it is presented now. I hope you will enjoy it and we both appreciate your listening time and your valuable comments:) Otherwise all thanks to Ed!

Description : Dark, slow, ambient, cinematic jazz with funereal piano turning into something much funkier, psychedelic and beautiful in the second half. Out of the darkness and into the light, you could say. Instruments: electric guitar + bass, lots of synth sounds, including a horn, double bass, another big legato bass, pizzicato strings, two types of piano, a heavily delayed slide guitar instrument, zither, synth arp, one brushy drum loop, kettle drum rolls and 4 programmed acoustic drum kits. This is quite a special track for me and is only the second I've put in the cinematic genre. The more you listen, the more it changes (it even has key changes) and the last three minutes are really quite far out and should probably be longer. Best track I've made for a few months. Interesting thoughts and reflections appreciated. Free sex for the best reviews...

Description : 4!_(07@2nd) harmonic protocol reboot sequence

This track is an elaboration of dgalantic’s track “Starting Over 0172257.” It is almost entirely comprised of loops by other artists on looperman. The newsreel in the intro section is from public domain footage of the Vietnam War. Prince Fatty chimes later in with some words of wisdom. The track was sequenced with Mixtikl and edited in Audacity.

Loops from the following artists are included:
1. ThatJeffCarter’s guitar “feedback 197765”
2. three of Nightingale’s harmonica trills: “angels 0088377, inner light 0088361 and never and never 0088366”
3. Heavily fx’ed vocal excerpts from Eshar’s “7th Dimension 0002644”
4. Dcmack’s rhythm loops “2 bass drums 1- 0085449, 2- 0085446, and 4- 0085448.”
5. Steelyvibe’s choral wash “luno frunezo 0005719”
6. Nightingale’s guitar loop “diving deep 0043488”
7. Rasputin1963’s chorals “ soul ladies gospel riff 0088641 and reggae soul girls choir 0087693”
Genre: Cinematic
Tags: papico, Cinematic, Piano, feedback, choral washes, choir, harmonica, guitar, dgalantic- starting over, thatjeffcarter-feedback, dcmack- 2 bass drums 1,2 and 4, nightingale-angels, inner light, never and never, diving deep, eshar-7th dimension, steelyvibe- luno frunezo, rasputin1963-soul ladies gospel riff, reggae soul girls choir, Vietnam War newsreel

Description : So a new track for everyone. Im pretty impressed by this one, and would even place it higher than one of my best tracks, Angel And A Demon. However, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should put vocals to it. I have some in mjnd, but idk if itd be better to leave as is and keep it instrumental or not. Take a listen and let me know! Also, let me know if anything is too loud, still working on my mastering.
