Happy New Year! Is This Too Bright?
#1
Happy new year to everyone on here! I struggle with the brightness of my mixes sometimes, so I'd love some feedback on this track.

Great mix. Doesn't sound overly bright to me. Very clear, nicely balanced, almost to the point of it sounding polite! If I had to be really picky I'd say the vocal is a little on the wet side and could do with dialling back a few dB, but thats just my personal taste.

Good job.

Hi Mass

Re: is your mix too bright? I went and listened to your other mix on here and on second listen I'm hearing quite a bit of energy on both mixes around the 8khz region. Because its there on two different songs I'm wondering if maybe your reference monitors are a little dark leading you to boost or at least not cut some of those higher frequencies. A gentle low pass might just tame that brilliance a bit. Its certainly not overbearing and you really only hear it on the cymbal crashes.

All the best,

Matt
