Get Fooled Mix

[Cwidener7]

The atmosphere in the second verse (with the quiet vs loud Pixies quality) is great, dense and foggy. You get a pretty spartan and dry drum sound, like you didn't use much of the OH's or maybe played with transients... it's a cool sound, but the main phrase of the track feels a little disjointed because the root bass note is hardly there, so bass and drums are not playing much together. Looks like you spent some time on the bass automating levels so the higher notes are clean and loud, or maybe it is so because of the proccessing you put on it, but apart from that second verse, the bass lacks gravitas and is easily overpowered by the guitar.

Cool timing on the vocal delay (maybe a little too much wet) and nice fuzzy and clippy guitar. Pretty cool how the drumkit opens in the choruses when the drummer hits the ride and toms (is there any edit or gating there?).

Thank you for such an in depth review of my mix....I can see what your saying about the low end. Do you have any tricks or tips to get the bass to sit with the guitars and kick? It seems like when I scoop out more low end on the guitars it makes them sound thin. Good ear on the drums. The cymbal rides and bleed were driving me nuts so I put a gate and automated it for the different sections to open it up. Thank you again for taking the time to listen Deliza! Let me know about the low end suggestions/tips
