Hi Andrew - Many thanks for listening, the compliment on the vocals and taking the time to write detailed comments/suggestions. It’s very much appreciated.
To be honest, I wasn’t very happy with the drum sound and struggled with it throughout the mix. Much more so than with the vocals — which came together very quickly. The muddiness you mentioned is probably coming from the drums interacting with the Aphex Aural Exciter on the guitar 1 and 2 tracks. I will take another listen this weekend and remix the drum tracks.
The guitar chug unevenness is also probably due to the Aphex envelope. They were cut at about 200 Hz or so and I’ll also try to HP them a bit as you suggested.
Happy mixing!
