Daimon B: 'Pain Remains'

[RolH]

I like the drums eq choices you made here. Overall the mix needs more body. I feel you scooped too much mids on many tracks that you ended up with a rather thin sounding mix.
Balances are pretty good though. Nothing poking out too much or badly masked tracks. Vocals need some de-essing. Some harsh frequencies here and there on those sibilant phrases.
Pretty good shot on it though. Keep it up! I'd say more mids/lowmids on some tracks will bring more body to your mix.

Yes u'r right,to separate the guitars and the synth I lost sight of the low mids, maybe also due to my listening situation (no acoustic optimization / living room mix).
Yes, the voice is partly sharp but I did not want to intervene more (de-esser is on), well . . it's part of these vocals ;-)
You could still make more of the song if you automate, but that was too much effort for me

Thanks for review
Roland
