Mixing A Classic Country Song from Start to Finish Part 1

Today we're mixing a classic country music song from Anderson Elswick. Anderson and I started on his new 6 song EP in October of 2019. We made some videos about how we produced one of the songs on his record and so I thought it would be a good idea for us to go through everything that went into mixing one of the songs on his new classic country EP, "Relic."

Thank you for watching our video. This is a channel dedicated to everything about making music. We will be discussing everything from when a sound enters a microphone capsule to when it leaves a speaker cone. From producing, recording, mixing, mastering, to everything in between this is Capsule to Cone.

I’m someone who plays a large variety of music and I have been leaning into writing southern rock/ blues lately but my old mixing techniques don’t work for the tones I’m using. I’m getting an abnormally muddy mix for fairy clean instruments so I’m hoping to learn a thing or two about mixing.

I might need to incorporate some new recording techniques as well.

Thanks for doing this one. Looking forward to the series.

Great mix, looks like you are very experienced in using the compressor, it‘s worth to learning ！

[LucasDellaporta]

I don’t see all the other parts. Would really love to get some more in depth videos for how you mix country drums, etc.

Ive been trying to become the best mixer I can be for my song writing demos... I usually get a guy up in nashville track my tunes " Smith Curry" and then I mix them and add vocals. I get the mixes some what close but they just dont sound the way I would like YET.... This has turned into a passion for me and I eat up any and all info I can get my hands on ... what ever I can learn. Anyway Sounds great man... hope to see part 2

[officialWWM]

I liked those drums when they sounded heavy :)

[HuffwareStudio]

Sounds great Matt! I've been wanting to drop by your studio when I'm down your way.

[kennyartois]

[JRNonline]

Mix is NOT BAD, Would love to hear it when it's finished! Who's on Steel? KEEP IT ANALOG and KEEP IT COUNTRY!....I would cut the reverb just a little and try a long delay on this song!. This song has the makings of a great COUNTRY SONG ! Just keep it simple,

ALSO remember when they are to hot RADIO might kick it out. Make you a Master for you radio stations and then Cut you one a little hotter for the public! We did that back in the 70 and 80's PRESSED two mixes and RADIO never had a problem with it! Listen to ALAN JACKSONS LEVEL's and you will have it. Sounds like you are on the right track!, Good job JE

Great Video Matt, do you actually have a paid membership on your website to become part of?... Especially if you teach how to mix "country" and give us access to these awesome songs you're mixing in these videos top notch stuff man... Nobody is specializing in high-quality, modern sounding (and classic old school country sound) multi's for practice... Just sayin :-) (you're first customer would be right here if you ever did something specializing in country genre specific membership).
