So this mix was one of the more challenging ones I've faced so far.
Three major things I struggled with:
1. Getting enough thump out of the kick drum (like Mike Senior's Mix) but without over powering the rest of the kit. Don't think I nailed it completely.
2. Making the "somebody scream" section (and I quote Mike Senior) "RAUCOUS" enough.
3. Backing Vocals!!!
Like Mike Senior said: "backing vocals would benefit from some editing and tuning work if you're planning on using them at any significant level in the mix" - AND it took A LOT of EDITING and TUNING!!!
But in the end I got them to "add" to the mix. (I think)
On the other hand, it's a GREAT track and recorded pretty well in my opinion.
Really enjoyed mixing it.
Please let me know what you guys think!

A song is never finished... Only abandoned. So sing if you've got nothing left to say.
