Fytakyte: 'Too Much (Brady85 mix) - brady85 - 02-06-2023
what a cool song ! recorded very well.
Did a quick mix, will probably fix some stuff later on.
--------------------------------------
V2 mix:
made the drums a little bigger and added a little more ambience.
Lowered the drums a little in the mix.
worked on the low end.
gave the vocals a little more space in the mix
pushed the master bus a few db less
----------------------------------
V3 mix
added a little more attack on the drums
worked on the midrange
I made some changes to the main vocals
removed the strings
Please let me know what you think.

The drums sound quite "small" which isn't the type of sound I would go for in this song, but this isn't wrong, it's just a matter of taste. I think maybe you tried to make up for this by making them louder, because they are quite loud with snare being the main focus in the mix. Which is probably what makes the vocals sound pushed back in the mix too much. Certain kick hits push your master compressor too hard or something, because there's a significant drop in volume ie. 1:36 at "he looked" 2:15 at kick+crash hit
But everything's audible which means it's balanced and the tone is good and that's what matters the most.
Overall I think it's an OK mix which needs some more polishing

I made a more polished version, not happy with it yet but it's better.

Oh yeah I like the second one better, the fuller, darker drums, more compressed snare. Overall darker tone. Now the mids can be a bit overwhelming tho, but those are surgical cuts of 1-2db here and there
The second one is what I'd say is a good mix.
