Not You First Mix

[B_Stormy]

This is my first post and my first mix from this site.
I was using Ableton Live (Lite version), and all of the original recorded material was used, though I didn't put in some of the room tracks.
Any and all feedback is welcome and appreciated.

Welcome to the site!

A good mix. A few comments based on my listen (some very much a matter of style/taste):

The Drums are key to this track. Try more compression and/or transient shaping. More punch needed on the snare in particular. Less midrange on EQ. Toms are a little on the loud side.

Vocals: Ok for Verse. Chorus levels seem lower than verse? Vocal levels also seem inconsistent between sections.

Guitars. Sound good. Except for level drop in Chorus, and the Solo didn’t seem quite strong enough.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely look at all of those points and try to fix them up.

HI B_Stormy;


The drums need some work. Particularly the kick. It needs to have more presence. The tom rolls are great. Match their intensity. The symbols seem buried too.

The guitars sound good, but a bit loud. The solo is great.

Did you route out any 400 HZ range frequency throughout this mix? It seems a little stuffy around there.

Regardless, it's a good mix.

Thank you for sharing!
