fAlling aPart -Scheps Omni Channel Mix

[FytaKyte]

Hey Andrew,

awesome mix. Sounds very professional and unique.
The longer I listen to it, the more I like it, love your low-end

Disclaimer - Personal opinions incoming:
For me the drums are bit overcompressed, also the snare seems to introduce some kind of noise which is a bit distracting. (2:14)
Also the phaser/flanger (whatever it is xD), is a bit much.
Furthermore I think the song starts out a bit unbalanced stereo wise. (I am listening on headphones)
Section at 1:30:
Sounds a little bit muddy and could use some more clarity.

Apart from that, excellent job overall!

Cheers,
Lukas

Please take a listen to one of my mixes and critique it.

Thanks for listening and commenting, Lukas!

Glad you like the low end. I was braver with it than I usually am - I was going for a fat indie dance feel, so I kept a lot more sub than I would do with say, a straight indie rock or rock track.

I don't have a tonne of compression going on the drums - 2 or 3 Db at most. Tried to keep the drums impactful but still fat.

I like the idea of deliberately unbalancing then balancing the mix left and right - it's another way to add contrast to a mix - not to everyone's taste, though.

The sound you can hear on the snare at 2:14 is actually some parallel mix flanging - the flanger is automated fairly low at that point, but it gradually increases during that transition into the last instrumental section, where it is then switched off, only to come back during the ending.

The muddiness you mentioned at 1:30: I'll have to have another listen there - perhaps the distorted guitar could use a little more low end filtering - I'll check that out.

Thanks again for your comments - much appreciated.
