Never Ebb But Flow - Beginner Mix

[bcs_mix]

That's a very good job for a beginner! Nice choice for snare drum. I assume you used samples right, then I would suggest you look into some triggering mistakes because I hear plenty where it wasn't triggered (either that or you used a gate and didn't set the threshold right). Also try bringing up the snare a little bit in the chorus either by volume or some high shelf EQ. It sits nicely in the verse (with some cool rock'n'roll delays), but kinda gets buried a little bit in the chorus. And according to the mix notes given by David Tyo, I suggest you bring down the guitar slides. He says they were just for complementing the vocals. Speaking of vocals, the vocals in the chorus need a little bit more space to fit in the mix, and accentuate their energy. I my mix I started with some fast delay with high feedback/revisions, and then add a touch of plate. Hopefully that sparks some ideas. Have fun mixing, and check out my mix, too!
