Comments and thoughts on this mix are appreciated.
There's a couple of things that presented as trouble areas in this first mix. The shaker was too loud, often masking cymbals and hi-hats in the drum mix. The basses got "boomie" on occasion so low cuts were made at 35Hz and 24dB /octave. There were some sibilant issues in the vocals, and the keyboard parts were buried most of the time. I think I've corrected each of those problems in the mix.
In this master, I believe I'm correcting resonant frequencies, specifically, at about 210Hz I made a sharp cut of about 6dB, Q of 6.293. Likewise, at 2.1kHz there's a sharper cut of 6.25dB, Q of 10.727. The low cut is at 40Hz and 24dB / octave.
Let me know if I've made improvements or need to go back to "the drawing board" and try again.
Nice job Dave
Listened to it in the headphones and sounds really smooth and solid.
You cleaned it up nicely from the first mix. Sounds like a keeper to me!
Great Job!!

Thanks, K. I'm starting to learn my EQ lessons, where and how to make space for various instruments to sit in the mix, so less needs to be done at mastering.
