Believe by I Am Cassettes - Really nice Song !

Nothing wrong there. Just a bit wider panning and more highs and you are ready to go. 4-6 hours are too much. Look at recording revolution. There u can find videos called mixing a song in 1 hour. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. For my taste, I thought I have enough highs in there. Drum have been panned pretty heavy, about 80 % Left and Right.
The Vocal doublings just about 40 % left and right. I did that, because one doubling-stem was sing at a high pitch and the other one at a low pitch, which sounded weird if I panned them further away.
About the time: Yeah I take my time mixing, it's not work for me so I don't rush.

But thanks for your critisism

I think it is too dry.
Take your time mixing. How many super hits have Graham mixed. I listened recently to a great documentary about Max Martin. Sorry guys, it´s in swedish. If you are swede you find it on the sveriges radio site. If I remember correctly he can work on a mix for two weeks. Well he probably do alot of stuff meanwhile, I mean, he can´t sit and do nothing but mixing one song for two weeks, right. Anyway, that dude sure has pulled out quite a few SUPER hits .

And as somebody said. Good is the enemy of great and good just doesn´t cut it.

Haha Obelix said I should mix faster, you say "take you time". I think with 4-6 hours on that mix (to be precise 3 days á 1-2 hours) is enough time.

Yeah I have to agree that the mix a bit dry. If you listen to my other mixed on this board, it is kind of my style to mix very clear, very subtle effects like verb or delay. Most people destroy beautiful vocals like these with a sh.. ton of verb and delay.
What I didn't like about the song, and where I had my problems was the low end / bass. There basically was just the kick, which sounds good, and a Bass Guitar which I think didn't fit composing-wise. There was a lack of warmness, that goes through the whole song.
