So this morning I went and put a Demi Lovato track as a quick reference and HOLY CRAP! theres a ton of lows in there. Got me thinking, maybe I trimmed too much of the lows out? So I loaded my original mix before I butchered everything and maybe its not so bad? Maybe mastering can fix it up? So i'm loading that here, maybe Ill try a little mastering on that and see what that does.
There is a big level difference between the two versions, so it is difficult to judge. I still like the analog liveliness even though it sounds "thin" compared to your first mix. The difference seems day and night, but that's part a level/loudness thing... on the other hand, the analog mix sounds kind of thinned out to my ears when I crank it up to my monitor reference level.
