Young Griffo: 'Pennies'

[FytaKyte]

Hey Kirk, I really enjoyed the 3rd mix you put up. It has a nice full & punchy sound overall, and I really like the way you treated the vocals. They have some nice air without being too harsh or sibilant. The low end is nice and full, and the drums sound good to my ear.

The guitars are a little more difficult to deal with because the source sounds are probably less-than-optimal at capture. That said, I think you have gotten sound very respectable tones here.

I think the challenge with this song is that it has a lot of space. That can be a good thing, but in terms of instrumentation and parts, the song is a little under-produced IMO. The only way to really fill out the sonic spectrum is to use some production techniques to give a little more space and interest to the sparce verses, and a little more density to the chorus to help it hit harder and provide some contrast. At least to me, that is where the songs long-term dynamic intentions seem to be pointing.

You definitely have a very nice mix here that could serve as a springboard o pursue that end, if you felt so inclined. Cool stuff!
