Hello guys,
Here’s my version of “Duff – Il Mondo è Impazzito”
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jg1kvLcKfOmGoJVDwyIEfNwlK5VEgsyM/view?usp=sharing

It was really fun to mix this track! A lot of energy! I enjoyed the vibes and the lyrics as well ahah (@Totonno Nevone ;p). I mixed this song without referencing to the original version, ‘cause I wanted to express my personal taste, freely.. I cleaned up some clashing/annoying frequencies then highlighted the drum sections and the vocals, even if I placed the lattest more inside the mix compared to my other mixes, then added delays and reverbs to open the stereo image and did a lot of automations (pan and volume) to give movements and variations to the song.. ;p

Wow I love the mix Magghy! I'm really happy you liked the song (and the lyrics), it's an old 2004 song, but still a big fave when I get the chance to play it live. I love what you did eq-wise to all the instruments, especially on my vocals. Wow! I don't get exactly the chain, but you really made my singing rock solid...I often test new compressors with this song cos i know it top-to-bottom, and I never achieved something like this with any plugin. Maybe it's also the delay/verb with the long tail that makes it work so well. If I should really try to find something that sounds "different" to my usual taste is the background vocals, I tend to leave them a little more behind the lead vocals. You really caught the "freedom" spirit of the song, and made it happen. Thank you so much! Cheers!

Mix sounds great Magghy! Drums are slamming, guitars sound nice and wide, and the vocals are killer!
