PROTOOLS MIX - GUITARS

I used EQ with a high cut filter to remove some of the high end as you could hear parts of the strings ringing that weren’t harmonics but more due to the performer’s fingers pressing. I added the Air Flanger plugin to, again, create a spacey sound that fits with the feel of the track and also what I presented through my pitch and plan. I then added reverb with Studio Reverb plugin on the setting large theatre to make them really big and reverberant. I decided against using a large reverb such as canyon or one with a long decay time as the audio recorded allowed the chords to ring out and I didn’t want to create extra bleed and mess with the timing. After a client feedback session with my lecturer, he pointed out that the guitar strums were too loud in the mix. I agreed as my intentions were to have these pushed back in the mix to create distance and texture.
