The Maybe Next Years - One Flip Flop (M&F) - Digitaldruglord - 26-09-2020
Hope everyone is well.
I didn't get a chance to encode a MP3 version so I'm posting my WAV mix and master:

Yeah, a really good mix. An interesting mix too.
I have some thoughts that came to mind:
Couldn't quite put my finger on it initially - but I think there's maybe just a touch too much saturation and widening going on for my taste. Not by much, but just enough that I think it's losing some definition and potential impact for it (drums). I dunno, I just feel there might be just a couple of db too much widening on the side channels or something perhaps? I feel it could be just a little bit tighter maybe?
Not sure but I think a db or so of wide eq somewhere around 400-500ish (guessing) might thicken it up a little bit - I think it feels just a hair bright otherwise perhaps? The delays at the end of each verse are really cool, but for me they could be tucked in just a bit - I think you wanted them to jump out a little though. Bothers me less on subsequent listens, compared to the first though.
Not wanting to take anything away from a good mix, it's just a couple of things that came to mind.
(I noticed a click or something that's snuck in around the 0:37 mark).
Oh, The vocals at 2:16 sounds amazing! Really nice 'moment'. Works really well.
So, why do I think this is an interesting mix?
This mix has really highlighted for me where my own mixes are lacking. I think it shows me where I am being a bit too conservative with regards to tone, saturation and width. Parallel distortion, etc. Balance also. Sub bus compression/limiting too, maybe... It's certainly given me plenty of ideas of things to think about and try, to fill in those gaps and edges, etc.
Anyway, again, a great mix., and also thanks for the inspiration.
Cheers!

I like the feel. I am with MikeJ on a bit to much saturation though.
