Dark Ride: 'Hammer Down'

[mikej]

Hi!

Apologies for not checking this thread for a while.

Ok, bass is a bit too loud in the mix. It sounds good though, just a bit loud! It's competing too much with the guitars, especially during the intro and pre-chorus/chorus sections. Mix feels a little unbalanced stereo wise during the intro. Vocal starts to get a bit lost at times (eg 1:24, 3:58 ish). Guitar riff at 1:50 is a bit buried. It's barely audible at 3:23 and 3:33. It sounds like the master limiter might be getting hit a little hard towards the end of the mix? it might be worth backing it off just a touch, though probably not by much.

Yeah the snare sounds much better! In fact all the parts are sounding much better to me in this latest mix. It feels like all the parts are working well together now. It's sounding like a mix, as opposed to a collection of separately eq'd parts playing at once.

For me it's really just the balance that needs a little attention now. I think all the issues I mentioned above are all balance issues really, which can be fixed with a few fader moves and a little automation. It's getting there . Definitely keep at it!

Cheers!
