THE TRAVELING BAND -QUICKSAND - DGarner - 27-07-2016
REALLY FUN SONG TO MIX I NO ALOT OF THINGS ARE SUBJECTIVE BUT I WANTED TO CAPTURE THE OVER FEEL OF THE SONG AND I FELT THE DRUMS REALLY DROVE THIS SONG . THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND GIVING FEEDBACK.
Update: brought the snare more forward and eq'd the main gtr to blend them better in the mix.

Nice work D. I like the overall darker sound of the mix. For me it suits the song nicely. Just a couple of things I'm noticing while listening that may help. Overall I like your drum sound but for me the snare is too distant and pushed back. I think you are right about the drums driving the song and I think a solid snare combined with your nice tom sound will work wonders. I feel the main guitar featured to the left is also sounding distant and could be perhaps brightened up a little to highlight it's great tone and bring it closer to the listener. Great work so far, well on the way.
