Hi,

My mix. Comments welcomed, as always.

Thanks!
Hi Mike

I really like the guitars and low "explotion" when the bass kick in. Maybe I find it just a tad too undefinable ... or maybe I just dig it ... I can't really tell myself Big Grin

I am sorry, but I don't understand the drums. If they're supposed to sound ... not un-drum-like, but less natural, I like them. On the other hand, if they're supposed to sound like drums ... well, then I am not a fan.

The vocals sounds really compressed. I think that's a shame for this kind of music, but maybe that's just me? I guess, I'm more into a ... more au natural appropch for this Smile

Anyways, it's always nice hearing your mixes. You seem t know your s**t, and that's alwas nice. The rest ... that's just differences in taste and preferences Smile

Nice job. Keep it up and stay healthy Smile
Hi,

Actually, this was the best mix I could do at the time. Seems a long time ago to me in mixing terms, but wasn't that long ago really. The drums were supposed to sound like drums Big Grin.

One thing for sure is that I definitely do not know my sh*t, but am learning and trying to keep moving forward all the time.

I must say it is quite interesting to read your comments on some of my 'older' mixes. This mix doesn't sound as bad as I might have feared, however your comments are fair, and I think it is quite over processed really.

Yeah, I too would take a completely different, lighter approach to mixing this if I were to have a go at it today. Maybe I should have another try at it some time, as I can hear quite a lot that I got 'wrong', aside from differences in taste Big Grin.

Cheers!
