Mixing "Andain - Beatiful Things (Gabriel & Dresden Remix) (pg. 2)

I actually find that that track mixes well with pretty much anything...for a while (yeah, about a year ago) it was one of my "pull it out if nothing else works" tracks. Definitely anything proggy it mixes amazingly out of.


What else do you mix?
Audigy7
I find this track relativley easy to mix after Solar Stone - Speak in Sympathy.

The rule is generally this.
If you have a difference of approx 4.5% you have changed the key of the track by one whole semitone i.e. an Am becomes an A#m.

However the key may still sound bad at a 3% because it's closer to the above key. It's kind of a judgement call but at 4.5% it's definately going to sound rough.
Keep in mind that it's based on the differnece between the two pitch positions and not from the 0% point.

PS
I saw that Johny2003 had the above track down as an Em (9A) in the harmonic mixing thread.

Very well said, couldn't have said it better myself. :toocool:

Thanks for your help guys, appreciate it. I'm making a mix for my girlfriend and she really likes this song, so I want to mix it in. But my unability to mix it is getting kind of frustrating! I'll let you know how it all goes out.

thanks! so, on the camelot scale does this mean that a semitone change you add 7? ie so an 8A becomes a 3A? and conversely if you slow something down by 4.5% you subtract seven?

yeah, i think i got the 8A for this track from someone else's post. think id better have a look at it myself :)

"Chable & Bonnici -- Ride" is something I usually like to go to after I play that song. It's a fairly "naked" beat on the intro, so there shouldn't be any large key clash.

this mixes fairly well with most tracks.. ive done it with petter - all together and alot of other prog songs.

around 17mins... mixed with Speak In Sympathy [Deeper Mix]

The track at 0% is in Em, and a really strangely good mix I found out it was Lange's mix of Pulsar's Global Gathering Theme from 2003 (shows long ago that woz eh?) record it wen u mix it and be very suprised, especially wen the guitar and vocals come back in at the end of Beautiful Things.
Happy mixing dude
