LOVED THIS SONG! And this is my mix

[matiasgodoy399]

Listened to v4: the cymbals are not loud enough, I don't hear all the small details Dirk is playing on the crashes, splashes, ride and on the hihat. The hihat is almost nonexistent, and this is extremely obvious in the first part of the solo where you can only hear kick & snare. I mentioned this in my FAQ:

- The fist part of the guitar solo feels kinda empty if the hihat isn't loud enough. The hihat can add an interesting rhythmic pattern to the guitar solo, and you should use this to your advantage, creating another source of excitement for the listener.
- Try to bring out all the small details from the drums - there are lots of them

I would suggest you start an automation pass for the cymbals and for the hihat and bring them back into the mix.

Thanks Blitz! That´s a good input. If you listen on previous mixes Hihat was louder, and that bothered me a lot so I pull it back a LOT. Never thought to make automation on that and cymbals, that´s a great idea.

Bringing out the snare ambience and parallel compressing the drum bus will help to bring out the 'mess' and details. I'd ditch the limiters and just use pure clipping instead. ^_^

Kapu, I only put the limiter at -0.3, and used fabfilter pro L to squash the mix. Any clip vst you may recommend? pro L is what I like the most so far.

Thanks both of you for your comments!!!
