Hiya Mike
A nice clean mix, my good fellow!
Yes, this was a fun track to work on. Well done, Bill Chudziak
Now, onto the critique:
I'm getting a lot of really low end energy from the kick and maybe the bass. It sounds as though there has been a large boost down below 80Hz, mostly on the kick, which may sound awesome coming through a sub woofer and making your chest pound (oooh yeah!!
) but is kind of sounding a bit unbalanced against the rest of the instrumentation.
I was going to add that the vocals could come up a little bit, but I'm now thinking that if the low end is contained a little, then the whole mix might be able to come up a bit more without driving any master fader compressor-limiters you have across the mix too hard.
There is a bucket-load of energy in the low end of the frequency spectrum, and reining it in is half the battle won!
But I think you have a very good 'first cut' of this track, and I'm envious that you have a recording studio to work in!!
