Mix Critique - jlawford - 03-01-2021
Plenty of tracks here!
Haven't done:
- Vocal automation
- Drums panning and effects
- General automation to bring out details in instrumental playing
But I would appreciate a critique of this mix. It is quite a top-down approach with buss processing and very little compression on individual tracks, and mostly just HPF and general tone EQ.

Thanks for the comments.
I've finished the mix with additional automation - quite a lot in fact. Also chopped some drum parts like when it breaks down to just the loop - took out the live drums for a change of feel for those couple of bars around the 2 minute 10 seconds mark.
Comments from other ears welcome!

I hated the sound of the loop hi-hat so just muted it for the whole song. It sounded like a low bit-rate mp3 and was distracting. The acoustic guitars when they come in basically carry the rhythm forward which is what the hi-hat loop is trying to do.
Nice vocal effects, the vocal just feels a little hard in tone for me.
The overall mix is louder but I don't think it's aggressive. The snare needs to punch more, the drums as a whole need to come up.
I think there is a better interplay between the guitars and synths that could be exploited.
Thanks for your comments, I hope mine are useful.
