I think you did it! You speed up the tempo song, right? I also really like all the reverb "tricks" you used and the effects on the vocal track! Very exciting mix!

[Absolem]

Hm, I’ll recheck my tempo properties in the project, but I didn’t do that)

[Absolem]

UPD. V2.

Rob Sidhe, yep, I set tempo at 95 bpm, don't know why)

And now I tried to slow it down a bit for more "relax" feel. Fixed some issues with percussion and leading guitar was returned partially.

The effects are great, I dig them. The offbeat guitar though may have a bit too much, I think it loses some of it's off-beat character. Maybe less would be more on this tracks. But in general: the effects give a whole new touch to the song!

[Absolem]

You right, guitar lost its groove. I’m gonna fix it

[Absolem]

Well, much better

Solid well balanced mix I like it a lot , I love the delay effects would you mind sharing how you achieved that ?
Maybe the decay on the delay could be a touch shorter !

Well Done

[Absolem]

Delay is synced with tempo)
I sent vocals to a ping-pong delay and strongly filter it and automated its volume.
There are 2 sends from rhythm guitar track: one is usual tempo delay, the other one is to almost endless ping pong delay and huge reverb (both 100% wet) and sidechain it with the guitar. It helps to make pad-like tone in the background.
I used tempo delay on snare drum and slapback delays on lead-guitars.
And i used huge main reverb to make an ambience of the track.

Any feedback else?
