thanks for listening!
Quote:Some points that I noticed that may improve things slightly:
- The main jangly electric guitar riff sounds quite dark and boxy to my ears - probably a 400/500hz dip would help there
i kinda deliberately tweaked that boxy sound for the guitar to make some contrast or something. maybe went too far
Quote:- The space around the drums is quite bright sounding, which creates a slight sensation of cognitive dissonance in the way that it contrasts to the other elements in the mix.
listening now i think it's the highs from acoustic guitar and overheads which are messing with things. should fix those.
Quote:- The vocal sound is excellent, but for some reason it doesn't seem to "nest" into the mix as well as it could. There are occasions where it feels like feels "too big" for the rest of the mix. I'm not sure if that is a compression, eq, or automation thing, or perhaps even a combination of all three, but I think it could be improved with a better sense of "proportion" between the music and the vocals.
well, my approach was kind of 'vocals and then the rest of stuff', so ended up layering the vocals on top. ^_^
