One of the best ways to become a better mixer is to give feedback - as it encourages analytical listening and judging by your feedback, you have developed that skill nicely

I totally agree, and I've been part of this forum here: http://forum.recordingreview.com/ where there is a section called 'Bash This Recording' (much nicer than it sounds really, people are very friendly and helpful, you will find every kind of people there, from newbie to professional, musicians and mixers) for almost two years now and have practised critical listening on most of the submissions there. I know that I've learned a lot there even though there's always more to learn!
It's a great resource and you will be welcome there as well!

Hey Patrick, thanks for the heads-up on that resource - the vibe seems very similar to here. Your time spent developing critical listening skills has obviously paid off - you're right though, there's always more to learn - but I guess that's why we love it Big Grin

Nice one. I couldn't seem to make the drum rooms work, so I went for a more present vibe. I wish I had known that Patrick was here commenting!

About the drums, Mike did (reasonably) simplify the multitracks.
I never used them all, but I do all the drums mixing in Superior Drummer's built-in mixer usually and really only use a stereo output + kick and snare outputs.

What I provided was a direct bounce from Superior Drummer and the Roots Brushes SDX provides a crazy amount of mics to work with: 3 for kick (in/ext/sub), 3 for snare (bottom/top condenser/top dynamic), ambiance near/mid/far/room and a chamber...
I suppose it would be a phase nightmare to have to deal with all of these.

I love your overall tone. My only (tiny)gripe is that the vocal seems a little "squeezed" in the mids, with the highs being a touch to present for my ear. Multiband compressor, or heavy eq treatment?

Aside from that, gorgeous take on the mix.

Thanks for listening....glad you liked it. Re vocals....you're right, there's probably a bit too much 3K going on...i did a quick check and backing it off a couple of db and reducing the Q value sounds really good.

cheers

@maddrummer: you should create your own post to avoid hi-jacking HBGuitar's one.
About the synth, I like the sound of it but it sounds misaligned right now, looks like the MIDI was not in sync, might be my fault, if so, sorry about it, but I think it should be easy to realign.
Please repost on your own thread with a fix and I'll listen further.

I pulled it down. The MIDI was WAY off. Pulled all the MIDI cause the others were off as well. I'll put a new one up on the primary as soon as I figure that out.
