Definitely my favourite mix of this song here so far. Sounds a lot more open and less boxy than the others.
Hopefully I'll have time to mix this next week
Thanks for having a listen Judders will work on the drums

i hope you are wearing some decent ear protection during the gigs dude.
Thanks Dave for having a another listen and advice ,I will work on the bass eq and go easy on the 2buss compression when I have another go soon

Sorry for the late reply

Hi Thedon, nice guitar balance and use of the stereo image with the guitars, i think the issue with the drums is the blend of the close mics, the snare seems a little too dry and the kick sticks out a bit in the upper freq. Perhaps a little more reverb/delay treatment to the verse vocals? or it might just be my preference.

Thanks for having a listen I agree with your observations and will I have another go at this tricky mix soon
