I was watchin Mix Critique Monday over on Pete Woj's youtube channel Mix Better Now and the first mix he played and critiqued was this track, after that I ended up getting inspired to revisit my mix in my new workflow using a mix reference, in the end I think this is a big improvment over my original versions and just a better mix in general. Oddly enough I chose No One Knows by Queens of the Stone Age as the reference for the mix, trying to emulate that punchy drum and bass sound and Desert Rock grit with the Rock and Roll sound of the acoustics, electrics and vocals.
So, what do you guys think?
Cheers,
Doug
Update: New master with less mid heavy bass and some other tweaks
Update 2: Final Mix and master, I took the octaver off the bass and added more mids to it.

Mixing is way more art and soul than science. We don’t really know what we’re doing. We do it because we love music! It’s the love of music first. Eddie Kramer
