Hello!)) I was impressed by the song! Sounds solid and clean!
But sometimes it's very clean, i mean delayed guitars.

Not keen on the snare the verb is making it very distant and thin .
Toms sound a bit too wide also panning wise .

I think I'm going to do a remix.

Hello Don

Overall I think this is good but can be improved.

*Mix is rather thin sounding. perhaps a bit more mids will help to get a better body/fullersound on it.
*Only separation I hear is on the toms, which I believe that's why takka feels they are so separate from the snare and kick.
Everything else is centered and I feel your mix is drowning. Perhaps that's why you boosted some highs here and there?
*Bass has some fret noise here and there. Unless you purposely eq'ed it like that? But it jumps out in my opinion.
*Vocals sound nice and clean
*at 1:51 it lacks the power I would have wanted from those guitars. perhaps a boost in volume? or more fullness in the eq. or both.

Not an easy mix if you ask me but I think you are on the right track.
Hope this helps. Smile

Hi Shul,
I agree with your findings ,with Version 2 I will go with my instincts and not spend too much time trying to manipulate all of the individual tracks eq in the tempt to sound like the song I used as a reference loosing track of the big picture.

Cheers Big Grin.

I'm interested to hear what you come up with in Version#2 Don.
There's quite a lot to like with this mix. I really like the overall density and saturation you have achieved. I'm also diggin' the snare. There are parts where it could do with some extra "200hz" but then the song heats up I think it's sounding pretty good as it is.
This song sounds quite climatic and I think will demand a lot of automation to exploit it fully.
I will stay tuned.

Dave

Thanks for having listen Dave.
I am working on version 2 ,will try not just level automation but also frequency automation especially on the snare great idea.
Thanks Big Grin
