We Fell From The Sky - Not You [OoF] - OctopusOnFire - 26-06-2018

Here's my mix for this song.

I kept the guitars and used the bass replacement method that Mike describes in its mix rescue. On top of that, I distorted the original, hi-passed signal and featured the mids to give character to the bass.

For the drums I kept the rooms, added a little amount of sample to the kick and bass, left the toms untouched.

For the voice, I wanted to bring it upfront aggressively. For the whispering part, I added some distortion, bit crushing, space and movement.

For this mix I tried to run it through 2 parallel compressors, a Focusrite RED type and a SSL type. There are also some analog emulations to add some distortion and character.

I tried to give the most radio sound I could, trying to get the right amount of shine and aggressiveness. Let me know how you feel about it.

Hey man!

You did a great job here, but for my rookie ears the drums feel a little dry, they need more aggressiviness. And I'm feeling like the bass is taking the space of the guitars and they sound under the bass in my headphones. I like you bass tone a lot. I didn't read the Mix Rescue article, but I'll try to do that in my second run of that mix.

Boxy... watch out for the 300 Hz region in the bass guitar. A short delay on the vocal probably wouldn't go amiss either.
I think the bass is washing things out a big. May improve after the aforementioned EQ tweak though. I'd go for a somewhat "rougher" voice sound in the verse to try to match the aggressiveness of the music.
