Remember Jones - Don't Put Me On Hold

Thanks for checking out my mix and for taking the time to comment, much appreciated!

I feel the snare is ok for my taste.  I am thinking more 70's style funk and soul, rather than rock.  I don't feel that the snare needs to be quite so up front and smashed for this track.  The drums can take a bit more of a back seat to the vocals and horn section - I was quite pleased with how the horn section came across, anyway.  I think the master bus compressor is doing a good job with the snare and vocal level balance.  I suppose I am saying that the snare sound and level in the mix was a deliberate decision.  Similar with the BV's - they are really good and I didn't want to bury them.  Just my take - that's not to say I don't appreciate your view point as well.

Cheers!
It's always a bit difficult on this forum to seperate intentional mix decisions from "mistakes". Knowing the things I mentioned were deliberate decisions, it works very well. I came back to your mix, while trying to mix this thing myself and you achieved great seperation and clarity between instruments. I struggled with that and I'm still dissatisfied with my mix, probably lost perspective along the way...

Cheers,
Lukas Angel
