Forkupines - Sleep by the Fire, Bloom in Water BEEFY MIX - beefyblue - 13-07-2017

I enjoyed mixing this one. Not been on here for a while as I've been so busy but finally got round to looking at this..

Tight arrangement and good tune. I didn't use any samples or anything other than the ones that came with the session as to try and stick to their vision with. Spent about 4/5 hours on the mix..

I'm happy with how it's come out, you may think otherwise! Let me know if you hear anything untoward Wink

Cheers
BB

Nice mix.

Tad heavy on the sub but interestingly when I cut my sub, I lose a lot of the power from the bass. Seems like there's not enough in the 125Hz range. Maybe another 1-2 dB in that area.

Might want to reduce the verb on the vocal and brighten it up a hair. Sounds too distant to my tastes.
The kick drum at ~2:35 could use a little more. Been a while since I did this one but I think I heard that in my mix and did some chopping there to add in a low tom hit on those.

Thanks for the comments! Much appreciated. I will come back to this at some point and do a revision, so I'll have a look at the points you raised..
