Hey guys. Just my mix with really bad non professional monitoring.
FORKUPINES - "Sugar | Faith" (mixed by arimaggod)

Hello Arimaggog,
Well, as for the monitor issue your other mixes sound fine not sure what the problem is. As for the mix. I would start with the faders leveled out no FX and get a good static mix first (panning or no panning up to you) then start to add your toys figure out about what each instrument sound you like and don’t like. Hope this helps Jerze

Hey arimaggod. Yeah, I think you're non professional monitoring might be affecting your mix. Though to be fair, I have non professional monitoring as well. Ultimately, if I'm honest, there's elements of this mix that sound off and weird. It's cool though. We'll figure it out.
I'll agree with Jerze. "As for the mix. I would start with the faders leveled out no FX and get a good static mix first (panning or no panning up to you) then start to add your toys figure out about what each instrument sound you like and don’t like" What I'm no liking out this mix feels forced to be that way. Mixing is symbiotic. You can't force a song to sound in a way that it doesn't want to or isn't able to. Which is great. This feels like there are elements of the song that you really tried and worked to be something that it isn't. I think that's natural when we see a lot of tracks. It feels like "work". We may get into the mental headspace of having to really work the tracks. Whether it's one, two, twelve, twenty-four or a hundred we have to let the tracks be what they are. I know I rambled a lot to say simple this seems like a mix that got away from you. That's not to say you can't mix it. You just need to take your foot off the gas a bit and try again. It's not far off. It just got away from you bit. Listen on some other systems if you can. Reference other mixes. The tonal balances don't feel that off. I don't know. I might be typing too much. Which is fitting. Try again. Keep it simple. See what you get.
