If_you_say_M.A._mix - MixersAnon - 20-08-2013
I tried to keep it as natural as possible.
M.A.

Sound good, nice balance and separation between instruments. I like it.
One small personal preference: with some instruments there could be just a little bit more space. For example that horn sounds that it's little bit behind, but at the same time it's very dry. And I don't mean audible space, reverb or echo, just some small element that enhances the distance of instrument.
And also with vocals there could be short almost inaudible plate-kind of reverb that could tie the words and syllables together. Now it's almost too intimate. As listener I prefer to be clearly in the audience, I begin to feel little uncomfortable.

Thanks for the feedback Olli. I am glad that the balance is fine. I have tried to mix it with no reverb at all. However i wouldnt lie. there is still some reverb there ,almost inaudible
. Also there have ,already been spacey mixes for the track so i thought , may be ill try the dry approach for a different perspective. Is it that intimate that you start feeling uncomfortable, then i have accomplished what i intended to :-). just out of interest which monitors are you using.

Very nice set for listening.
RE: If_you_say_M.A._mix - bmullen - 20-08-2013
Very nice. My only suggestion would be to reduce the level of the toms.
RE: If_you_say_M.A._mix - MixersAnon - 23-08-2013
Bmullen thanks for the feedback. you are right about the toms. they need to be quieter.
