Forkupines: Sleep By The Fire - JoshuaCove Mix
#1
Hi yall!
This is a mix I did some time ago just before I started posting so I'll probably end up remixing from scratch if it's not up to par - I'd rather start over than tamper with a delicate balance of a finished mix.

As always any and all feedback is welcomed and NEEDED!

Thanks
Josh

Hi Joshua,

You have a fairly decent sound here. The drums are pretty good though the snare might be a bit too heavy outside of the choruses. The transition from the intro to the verse is a bit strange as it sounds like the vocals get darker and the whole mood of the song changes. The main criticism I have is that I feel that the guitars are too subdued. You have a nice punchy drum sound, a decent bass tone and clear vocals but there is no power in the guitars. I think that if you added some aggression to these and a little more volume to these, you'd have a very good overall mix!

Also be careful of your vocal delays. The timings don't sound perfect to me and are a little distracting. Also try filtering your delays (trimming both highs and lows) so that they don't clash with your main vocal line.

Hope that is helpful.

Cheers

Mostly sounding good only thing I can really think of is the low end of the drums are a bit wily and the delay on the vocals is a bit distracting at times perhaps try turning the send down a bit?
