Just joined up, picked this song, grabbed the files and mixed and posted. Hearing other's mixes of the same material is such a great tool!
I love your production ideas Doug, especially the full drops in the verse and going into chorus. You and I had a similar idea of how the guitars should feature in the chorus which I feel gives that extra push better than those I've heard with keys featured. I would love to hear your mix with less buss compression. It certainly has good thwack but the pumping is distracting me from enjoying as much as I think I would otherwise.
