Andrew Cole: 'Dead Roses' -m

[mementus]

At first I thought that the high quality of the recordings'd made for a not so hard mix but then the mix, at least for me, was hard
Thanks

Interesting mix! The snare verb was a bit too obvious to me and the vocal delay+verb also seems a bit disconnected. Watch out for a few of the esses 'taste of sweetness', 'roses'--a few of them are out of control. And every now and then there is a stridency in the lead vocal in the 2.5-3k range. The female vocal sounds a bit weird--she's less bright than the dude. Maybe her vocal is too compressed, actually his vocal is also a bit overcompressed. The guitars sound nice but the strum is a tad too dark IMO (a matter of taste). Drums are good, even though he flams like crazy between the kick and the snare.
Have fun mixing!
Best,
