Moosmusic - Big Dummy Shake

I think you've got here a good mix. I agree with Alan and the voice sounds very good to me. I also like how the guitars sound during the choruses. Did you rise the guitars' volume during the chorus? I like the strength they give to that part when they start (at 1:37 and 2:46)

Thanks for listening and commenting guys I worked really hard getting those vocals to play nice with the rest of the track.... if it's of any interest to the group, I did as Mike suggested and cut the vocal up into different tracks for the verse, chorus, and bridge, and used different send levels to a couple different compressors... did some similar adjustments to how much was feeding into the verb and delay so that each section had a different character but still felt consistent.

Juan for the chorus guitars I doubled the strong one and panned in opposition about 60 percent, and there's some shifty stuff going on with the send levels and send panning for the reverbs and delays. There's a lot of mean compression going on... 6 dB of reduction in many places and it was killing the dynamic range of the track as a whole, so to combat that (and also to get the choruses louder than the verses, which is tricky) I automated the volume of the entire mix during the mastering phase, and automated a mid channel compressor which lowered the vocal volume a little bit to make those guitars sound bigger and more powerful, only during the choruses.

Thanks again guys, I appreciate it!
