Great Song, enjoyed mixing it. Comments welcome.

I went back and fixed a few things in my first mix and polished it up a little.

Listenin your mix 2.
Verses sound. good. kick and snare is fine, i miss some toms and mor cymbals.
I notice kind of a lvl drop in middle piece/outro, and that works opposite the intensity increase so I think you should look into that.
Listenin again I think its the bas - chances are its my room, but as I know that pretty well the possibility you have a bas eq made for verses which doesnt fit the other part is worth lookin into.
Despite my critisism I like your mix, I just think you could do small fixes makin it much better.

Thanks for listening and your comments Voelund !

The drums came premixed in a stereo stem so there is not a lot of room for adjustment there.

The bass is the same throughout the song, I used no verse/chorus settings on it. I've listen the section over again and not sure if I hear it or not. I can hear the bass being masked slightly by the other instruments. But I undecided if I can hear the level/intensity difference.

nice mix. the vibe fits the song.

I like the bass sound, can you tell what processing you did to it?

Sounds great !
The bass and kick sound great ,it sounds like compression is kicking in or something in the chorus !

[Spede]

In general I think this is a really good mix. You've done well in keeping all the instruments audible throughout the song.

While the bass sounded great in your mix, I felt it was perhaps a tad too overpowering throughout the mix. Pulling it back a little would make this mix overall a bit more relaxed.

The way the chorus guitars were panned didn't feel good. A pretty foolproof method in making a doubled electric guitar sound big is to fully pan them to opposite sides.

Thanks for your comments guys !

Spede, I think you're probably right about the bass. I haven't quite been able to put my finger on it since voelund mentioned it, but I think it probably needs pulled back for at least the verses.

The chorus guitars I struggled with, but I'm going to give them another go.

Here's a updated version. I've tried to address all the issues and I eased up on the master buss compression.

Sounds Much Better !
