Hello Beat,
About the typical 50%wet/50%dry MIR-like sound , what value do you suggest that I should try and change?
Hello Erik
Observe the distances with the HD-Tracks. The Strings seem to be very close whyle the Horns sound far away. This big distances between the front and the back doesn't MIR offer without any special treatment.
So try the following
- Open an Instance for the Strings wet 25-30%
- Open an instance for the Woodwinds wet = 30 - 35%
- Open aninstance for Brass and Percussion wet = 40-50%
Voilà . Use minitors for the fine tuning and try to achieve a similar result with one of the refernces - just for train and learn to listen and for translating the sound and depth into MIR. Once you will have found your favorit values. The different depths will enhance the transparency and the natural roomfeeling of MIR even more. I am sure. If possible share a short example with us.
You can observe each "transparent" recording - most of them got very big differences in the depths as well:
Examples: depth1 (recording), depth3 (recording), depth2 (samples)
Observe the very different depths in all the examples and the effect on the transparency of the mix.
Let us do it as well with our samples.
All the best Beat
