Version 03a.mpg
First 2 versions I was playing with a few new to me Plugins and went too far not being familiar with them, so I went back to my old standby 1176's and R comps. I left the vocal the same but brought the bass down a bit. Re EQ'ed and compressed and re-balanced everything. Automated lead guitar and tried to keep the song level from front to back without getting to chaotic. Seems to be a lot cleaner, more of a standard punk mix.

Ver 04.mpg
Pulled the tambourine way down as Kapu and Octo mentioned and pulled the kick down a few db's.

I definetly like Version 2 more. The dynamics in the first one are a bit too uncontrolled for me.
2nd Version:
- Like the vocal. Sounds CLA to me
- Guitars are smiling to much
- Dude that bass is to loud xD
- Drums sound raw and roomy, nice if its what you were going for.
- Nice SFX overall

Hey Lucas
Thanks for checking it out, Yeah, after I cranked up version 1 on the HiFi w/ sub, I was like holy crap!! doesn't translate very well. Yes very out of control .. lol
I agree the guitars need some more work, I think one of the plugins I used on them (Acon multiply) needs to come off and just re EQ and use a straight reverb and delay
lol on the loud bass, funny thing is it sounds great on the hifi with the sub cranked .. but it would probably kill a cell phone w/ earbuds and a cheap car stereo. Ill pull it back and find a happy medium.
latest version sounds nice. would take down the tambourine. i omitted it. i think you managed to construct interesting drums sound relying a lot on the overheads/far mics. guitars, bass, vocals etc sound great. well done! ^_^

Thanks Kapu
The drums were a challenge, I just hit them a bit hard with the 1176 and compressed and eq'd the overheads/far mics to try to get more crack out of the snare and toms. Ill pull the tambourine down in the next mix..
Now this is me being a perfectionist (with other people's work xD), but:
If you still feel like messing around with that low end, now that the kick is not poking out that much, you could try to give the kick a little more weight without making it louder. Check the polarity, maybe you don't even need to eq or compress.
