PJ Morton - Please Don't Walk Away [VR Mix]

Thanks to PJ and his camp, for putting the stems out in the wild. This mix was intended for educational purposes.

I mixed and mastered this version of the song, with the intention of the vocal harmonies being the focus.

Mixing for VR. To create space in a virtual world:

Time align recordings according to harmonics, not when the note is hit. Different instruments achieve the same harmony, at different start times.

Rely on the inverse square law to place sounds. Not only with the original signal, but your reverb and delay units too. Make sure your highs roll off at a 0.5:1 ratio.

Key your compression. It's like focusing a lens on a camera. Only compress the frequencies that break loudness. The highs will be left natural and non abrasive.

Master using a "mid-side" processor. Most VR setups have a subwoofer, even with headphones. Best to place everything below 500 Hz in mono. Subtly bring the highs back up, until the room sounds natural to you.

These tools will help you immerse any listener.
