Hey MikeJ,
great mix, with a very "chill" feel to it. The guitars and keys sound are integrated nicely, giving this mix a cohesive sound.
Some thoughts and opinions:
- Vocals are a bit clouded (but I remember that the vocal track was pretty full of bleed, so this might be difficult to adress)
- Kick has great sound and punch, but the snare feels a bit whacky and out of place. (I definetly remember the snare sounding horrible in the recording, so the only way to really fix this would probably be samples.)
- Guitar solo could be louder, but I am guitarist.
- Also the wide panning does not work as well on headphones as it might on studio monitors
Cheers,
Lukas

Hi!
- Vocals - agree. Also difficult to get that room sound (proximity effect or whatever) out of the vocal mic too.
- Snare - agree. Have to see if it can be fixed or as you say requires samples.
- Wide panning -agree. Sounds a bit wide on my monitors too listening back.
I think this was quite the live recording so yeah, I think there was lots of bleed everywhere, I recall!
I do have the mix archived, but you've inspired me to give it another go from scratch, to see if I can maybe do a bit better. Lets see.
Thanks for checking it out.
Cheers!

Hey MikeJ,
I think you overdid it a little bit with the corrections in mix2. I would try to shoot right between mix1 and mix 2.
Cheers,
Lukas

Mix 2.1 added.
Edit: Although it needs cleaning up as this mix isn't there yet...
Cheers!

Mix 2.3 added. Might need more work on the snare and vocals.
Cheers!
