Well what can I say... it's a hard mix to work with.
Good luck to everyone mixing this song Lol not a walk in the park.
Anyways.. feedback welcomed. Definitely a different approach from the already posted mixes here.
UPDATE--------------------
*compressed lead guitar peaks on the 2k area more
*Boosted bass for more definition and just dropped some low end to not push problems in that area. Also adjusted some nasty fret noise from the DI channel. (i'm using both tracks)
*boosted kick and snare for more impact and boosted the room mic for a fatter drum sound and a more "alive" feel... though this is not necessary all the time. Live recording doesn't have to sound "live" all the time but as pointed out in the comments it does sound a lil dead.
*lowered voice about 2 db to help the snare texture. Nobody likes a super thin snare.
*checked the mono mix for inconcistencies and in my opinion mix 2 sounds better in mono.
UPDATE2----------------------
Fixed some freq. problems.
Got a tighter sound overall and fixed some automation details on things as well.
That off tempo guitar was fixed somewhat too.
worked more with the voice and snare to get a more glued together sound.
Final mix.. at least for the time being. spent a handful of time on this song. It's been fun to work with. Hope you guys enjoy it.
