V.M.GY - PURGATORY (Sascha's Mix)

[TheSaschaThing]

Maybe got the drums a bit too fat...any suggestions?

Edit: Made a new revision without the ducking on the guitars by the drums so that it should be less pumping. Also put an dynamic eq in to soften the high end a bit.

Overall, it's a REALLY scooped and compressed sounding mix. I like what you did to the drums, but I feel like you could have done a little bit less of it. The compression in particular gives the whole track a pumping feel that isn't necessarily helping to improve the mix. The drums SOUND good, but they're too pumpy. The hi hat also has a very harsh 12khz tone to it, which I would consider getting rid of if you can, because when the song pumps, the ringy high end comes into stark focus as the mids get sucked out.
Decent mix, but the overall compression kinda ruined it. I'd fix that and make a revision!
