Hi!

kick is too loud.. especially the KickOut track.. the overall track is very muddy. but balances are not bad. Keep working on it I'd suggest listening to some reference tracks.. or even better.. listen to some of the original artist music.

Mix 2 is better. Maybe some de-essing on the vocal would be helpful. The voice is good but too separated from the ensemble in the beginning. Kick is a bit odd, but holds interest. Good use of echo on the vocal and lead guitar. Is that an H-Delay? Maybe some thoughtful automation on the vocal would really make your mix shine. It has great energy and really holds true to Candlebox's history. Well done.

Hi Vanbas

Very nice work with the vocals. It sounds present and well processed.

I have to admit that I'm not a fan of your drum sounds. In my ears your snare doesn't sound much like a snare drum, way too much bottom mic in the mix, and I believe that it would be beneficial to your mix if you work on your gates. And then there's something odd going on with your tom verb.

I do miss a little more of the clean guitars.

Overall energy is good. Keep up the good work

Hi!

Shul,Mixinthecloud,Krabbe:Thank you!
On the vocal and lead guitar I've used H-Delay 1/4 and Echoboy "Muffled
Echo" preset. Echoboy also send a little to main reverb.
