Magician's Nephew - Get Out Of Bed [OctoOnFire]

[OctopusOnFire]

Hey Octo
Loving the vocal treatment, sounds cool..
took a few bars to get used to the big sloppy(in a good way) snare sound, but it fits the mix really well.
Nice job bringing the lead guitar into the mix around 2:14 ..smooth!
Awesome job!!
Cheers

Thanks for the comments!

I also love how the voice turned out. It's really aggressive and in your face, but it never feels overwhelming, it has its own space and depth.

Yeah, I wanted to make the snare prominent and with a lot of tail. The Kick+Snare track is distorted as hell, like... seriously distorted!!

The solo was very challenging. There's a guitar part leading to it and also a Hammond eating up a lot of space. I spent a lot of time blending these 3 things together in a cohesive way.

Funnily enough, listening to this mix the day after, I really like it!! (usually it's the opposite). Also, for this one I totally ditched all Slate channels and compressors and used Airwindows. I'm already getting used to them and the role each one plays, and they really pay off.
