Shore mix

[Mongo]

Hey Mongo, I'd be interested to hear more about which parts of your mix you're unhappy with...

Levels-wise, you seem to have a pretty good balance between the vocals and the instruments. The low end also seems fairly controlled and not too subby or muddy.

The drums might need some work - the hihat is overly prominent to my ears, and a bit on the harsh side.

The lead vocal has a "honky" resonance in the midrange that seem to be magnified by the type of ambience you have chosen. Perhaps try finding that resonance by soloing the reverb and maybe eq'ing it out via the "sweep and destroy" method.

I used the Abbey Road mastering chain on it, by turning down the presence knob eliminated alot of the cymbal so it should be easier on the ears.... The vocal has been pitch corrected (didn't take much) I did fail to eq afterwards. My sweep did uncover a few spots...but usually I don't sweep as I put too much faith in pitch correction. My disappointment stems from hearing the Rickey Wascher mix on Utube and not even being in the ballpark... well, mixing is an expression after all and it's nice to have so many variations Cheers!
