Never Ebb But Flow - Beginner Mix - SickStringer - 08-12-2019
First time posting one of practice mixes on the internet for me. This one made me realize how important keeping organized is. I had to do a lot of 'where is that sound coming from' hunting around in the session
I'd love to get some advice from you guys on it!

That's a very good job for a beginner! Nice choice for snare drum. I assume you used samples right, then I would suggest you look into some triggering mistakes because I hear plenty where it wasn't triggered (either that or you used a gate and didn't set the threshold right). Also try bringing up the snare a little bit in the chorus either by volume or some high shelf EQ. It sits nicely in the verse (with some cool rock'n'roll delays), but kinda gets buried a little bit in the chorus. And according to the mix notes given by David Tyo, I suggest you bring down the guitar slides. He says they were just for complementing the vocals. Speaking of vocals, the vocals in the chorus need a little bit more space to fit in the mix, and accentuate their energy. I my mix I started with some fast delay with high feedback/revisions, and then add a touch of plate. Hopefully that sparks some ideas. Have fun mixing, and check out my mix, too!

Those 'records' you are talking of take the form of sub-groups for me. This song took me three days just to get the relevant parts sub-grouped!
Your mix is pretty good. One note, if you are participating in the contest I don't believe you can use samples.
