Hey K,
sweet mix! Some things I noticed:
- Drums should hit harder, maybe parallel compression with fast attack and fast release to get fatter sound
- Also an epic reverb might be cool here (maybe gated)
- Mid or mid-high resonace from the strings and slides on the bass
- Bass a bit heavily compressed, and very loud
- Snare sounds a bit too clipped in the beginning
- percussive elements louder, maybe experiment with panning
- Overall EQ balace is off. I downloaded your mix and checked with a spectrum analyzer. I Low-shelfed at 200HZ for -6db, -2db cut at 700 and 2400 Hz some resonance and high shelf for +3.5db at 8000HZ. I will attach the file which flips back and forth between my and your EQ. ( Also added Dynamic Multiband EQ to keep the bass in check) I noticed that bass sounds bloated and the hi-hats, percussive elements and vocals all loose their presence and shimmer when flipped back and forth.
Hope to hear the next version soon.
Cheers,
Lukas
