Random Somebody: 'Crazy For Me'

[Dangerous]

Balance then render. I love it when I don't have to eq the bass.

Dave

Update Mix#2 Added. Some adjustments based on Cudjoe and Bangbangs comments. Eq-ed the bass track this time round.

Hi Dave hope all is well great mix as usual the only thing I would say is that the intro and the bridge lead guitar Is too plucky,apart from that it's great,looking forward for some free time to mix this one

All is well thanks Cudjoe. I'll see if I can tame that guitar in my next pass. I will keep a look out for your version when it arrives.

Hey Dangerous!
Nice mix! I really like it!
Some minor things i'm thinking of.
Vocals seem a little boomy, cut some low mids from it. 200hz or something if i had to guess.
Bass sounds good from the recording indeed! But i would still cut some 200-500 from it to open up the lows and make room for other instruments.
I would try to separate the kick and bass more. They're fighting for space in the lower frequencies.
Instruments seem to be panned so that they sound kind of non-natural, if you can put it that way haha. You got a great wide image, but I would personally try to make the instruments play better with eachother. Maybe try different panning, play around with reverbs on opposite sides or something like that. It's a little hard to explain but i'm feeling that the guitars are not playing with the rest of the instruments.
Also a personal thing; I'm not really a fan of organs, and i would put it further back in the mix to support.
Other than that, i think you've done a great job! Keep it up!

Thanks Bangbang, a great detailed critique. Some good suggestions moving forward. I will give this some thought as I work towards my second pass.

Thank you.

Hi Dave
EQ'ing the bass seem to have given the acoustics a lot more room..a lot cleaner. Mix breaths better.
Great work!
Cheers
