Siren - Pauli

hmmm, I might have to check the encoder that I'm using, because I set it to encode at 320kbps, but I'm hearing the brittle side issue you're talking about on the export that I didn't notice in the DAW. I actually don't have any reverbs or anything like that going on here... all of the effects in the mix are printed on the tracks, and since over half the tracks have stereo effects printed on them, I opted not to pan those because there are phase cancellation gremlins EVERYWHERE on this tune, so I went for very minimal additional processing. I EQd the snot out of the guitars, did the normal high/low cut cleanup stuff and referenced it against the dance-y pop stuff that's all the rage right now, but I'm clearly trying to achieve a sound that's not my style.

Of course, I should be able to do that should a client request a loud and proud dance-pop track with ridiculously high RMS, but I think I'm going to re-work this one in a mixing style more my own. Maybe be a little more fearless with the panning, too!

thanks for the input, dudes. better mix coming your way.
