Raw track vs Mixing (with examples) 13 Years, 5 Months ago
Hi all, Happy new year!

Here's a clip from a track I just finished on the MD + MNM. I've posted a loop from the track "raw" off the Elektron's, and another similar part of the song with a full mixdown done in Logic:

http://soundcloud.com/jdn/b5-raw-vs-mixed

I think the mixed version has a much better "depth" to it, which was what I was going for to make the song more involving as a "dubby" track.

What do you all think? Does the mixed version sound better? Was I wasting my time?

the second example sounds considerably better.

i'm a bit confused as to the reason you call it "mixed" though, did you just apply fx or was each part tracked/EQ'd/etc individually?

@jbuonacc: the latter.

Four outs from the MD:
AB : most of the drums and the bassline
C: BD
D: SD

Three stereo pairs from the MNM (one for each synth part).

I recorded the arrangement in a single live take (mutes, sound tweaks, etc), recording to separate audio tracks in my DAW.

Then I was able to add eq / compression / bus sends for each of those tracks, as well as apply a bit of master channel processing.

Thanks for the feedback!

+1 you always get more control when mixing it separately

+1 for 2nd track.

sounds great, if you had the time to mention a couple of individual track eq/fx tweaks that helped when mixing in the software environment, i would really love to know.

the difference between 1st and 2nd is amazing.

Second one, no contest. Dramatically better. Guess I'm just bandwagoning at this point

Looking forward to your rundown as well!

@repeatle, full track is up here: http://soundcloud.com/jdn/b5
it's a dj edit, so the intro and outro mix points might get a bit boring if you're just listening straight.
