The less pumping mix - Morning Crash - 28-05-2014

So, hi
As i finished this mix, i checked some of the other mixes, and i found lots of them heavily compressed. Well, i know, they don't sound bad, but... I' m not really a fan of this.

What is strange about this one, that after getting the levels and panning the mix went flat... I didn't compressed it heavily, and mostly in parallel, but it was dead flat, no intro, no breakdowns o.O (oh well, that one was somewhat visible, but you know what i mean Wink ). A perfect case to train automation... Sometime, when i'll be less lazy.

I'm sure it's more smooth, not as massive as the others here, a bit less hard panned.
Tho vocal got a bit backed up however.

So, uhm, give it a try? I wanted to pump it loud, but stopped when i found it loud enough, i see the practice is to get it to the point when it becomes unaudible, and back up a little. Which i didn't, and i'd like to know how others find it in comparison Smile
