Living Lie RJMIX - ERJEE - 13-05-2020
Hi All,
I went for quite an aggressive sound and used a lot of extra distortion on guitars and vocals.
Cheers!
RE: Living Lie RJMIX - JCMixes - 13-05-2020
Pretty good.
Not sure if intended, but at the beginning snare feels really far.
Also, sometimes voice sounds kinda telephony, maybe it is intended, but I think it could have a bit more body.
Last, but not least, I feel the OHs are a bit harsh.
Liked the style, the aggressive drums and the distortion!

Thanks for the feedback! I made a second version (RJMIX2).
-The sidestick was muted accidentally, I unmuted it
-I agree on your comment on the vocal sound, I carved out too much of the low-mid resonances.
-The distorted LV in the chorus sound gives it a slight telephonic sound, but I wanted to make it stand out more in the chorus.
- I faded up the guitars a bit in the chorus and overall lowered the volume of the drums 2 dB. I think it is a better balance now.
Cheers!

Hi Erjee - thanks for mixing our song. Having a listen now to mix 2.
- liked your approach to the track. The filtered drums at the start brought more impact when the full fidelity came back in
- guitar balance at chorus sound good. Looking for a little more 200Hz weight in them though.
- frequency balance - consider more lows on the bass guitar. Liked your bass treatment in general.
- like your middle section treatment - the transition out of it with the drums could be cleaned up a bit
- I hear the automation into the lead gtr part at the end - transition needs to be a bit more subtle as it felt like the volume knob had been turned down on me
Thanks again for mixing and sharing !
Cheers
Thomas

Thanks for your reply Thomas. I added more lows to the guitars in de chorus and I made the drum transition in the middle section smoother. Overall I added a few dB to the bass.
Hope you like it better now (RJMIX3), cheers!
