Hi all,
I posted this on the Facebook group but forgot to add it here.
I thought this may be of interest to fellow Mixbus 32C users. A couple of weeks ago I played a concert in Italy, and they filmed the show for their Youtube channel. The video looks great, but the sound wasn’t well balanced. The front of house mix was guitar heavy, and whilst there was a ton of reverb on the vocal, the guitar was almost completely dry. I downloaded the video and extracted the audio in Da Vinci Resolve, then used Steinberg SpectraLayers to separate voice and guitar tracks . These were imported into a Mixbus 32C session where I re-balanced, EQ’d and added a little plate reverb to the guitar to bring it closer to the vocal space.
Love to know what you think! I was very happy with the end result so I’ve released it as a single. When I first saw and heard the video I thought, OK, fine for Youtube (well not really...) but what a shame to not have a great recording of this event. Now I have it, thanks to Steinberg and Mixbus 32C.
Of course there's a huge level difference between their uploaded video and my version. But the main thing is the difference in the vocal/guitar balance, and the added ambience of the guitar, compared to the original.
