Mix feedback is appreciated

alrighty lets see here.....more problems haha Confused

its not really too bad but you may have created more problems than fixing others, it seems as though your center image is now very blurred as if nothing is truly holding it down, but you have to be careful with that now especially with the headphones lol i wouldn't pan anything with headphones honestly.

THAT SNARE AND KICK, those are the heartbeats of your mix, and it seems like if i were to guess, you drove the limiter pretty hard with the lead vocal, after toning that kick down, and now that limiter is grabbing the vocals and throwing them in my face. and pushing the drums under everything, which is okay in some situations, but not for the entire mix. like i say later in this post, with limiters man......they are awesome creations, but use them like you use a gun. only when you absolutely have too or its your last resort.


i can elaborate more, but before i forget ill say id definitely like to check out your bands track either PM google drive link or post it on here Smile

lets see haha another lesson for you after a question. what are you limiting on and why are you doing it?

1. if you're doing it to make it louder; find another way and only use a limiter or compressor if you absolutely have to or are constrained on time.

2. This applies to all tools in your arsenal; don't use the tools: EQ's, PRE-AMP emulations, Compressors, Reverb, unless you really in your head think "this is exactly what this needs!"

3. Take a couple breaks and come back to it, after listening to some references or even just music you like to listen too, let your mind wander, than come back.

4. If you're using a limiter for side chain or for a "Texture" purpose, theres no real straightforward rules for that, and usually choosing something else will give you a better texture and you'll like it more.
