Colour me Red mixed by Dcp

Agree with you on the drums. The timing isn't perfect, but I also decided against starting down that path. Seems a bit more authentic with some variation.

Notes, after listening to the mix:

1) The intro is too quiet (it almost took my head off when the first verse kicked in!). If you wanted to keep the effect though, maybe a fade up combined with a filter sweep, so it sounds like it's coming from the distance, but then ends at a more sensible level before the verse kicks in?

2) The lead vocal is the highlight of this mix. Very nice processing. Slap delay works well. Guitars also sound good on the latest mix.

3) The drums sound good: except for the kick/compressor interaction. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it didn't seem to quite work (to my ears.)

Hope this helps. Cheers, Jeff

Thanks Jeff, I didn't actually use a compressor persay on the kick. What you're hearing is a transient designer, I think the culprit is that I ran the kick too hot through parallel processing with my snare (Waves 1176 "British Mode" set so that it pumps).

I agree on the intro, got carried away with making it small sounding and now it's too small , this looks like a job for One Knob Filter.

Cheers,
