First attempt at a remix uplaod

[jeffd42]

Hey folks, this is my first attempt at uploading a remix...
I look forward to your critique.

I listened to the second version. Two things:

1) I think the instrument balance is reasonable. Vocal sounds quite distant though. There may be a few other points ... but, first ...

2) I would second the comments on the EQ. Probably needs attention at the individual track level, as it would be hard to correct entirely on the mix-bus. Attached is a match-EQ picture. This compares your mix with mine. (You can substitute other mixes that are closer to the tonality you're aiming for).

I use LPX, but most DAWs have a similar tool. Match-EQs definitely no substitute for your ears, but in this case it does serve to illustrate why the kick is sounding weak (60Hz), the buildup of upper mids (around 500Hz) and the lack of clarity in the presence region (3K-7K) -- which others have mentioned.

Hope this helps! Cheers, Jeff
