My mix, Sugar

[john-keast]

Hey, John , I have not listen to the preview track to gather any scene of the artist intension.
First I like the tone of you vocal; watch what`s going on with compression here. I like  the open room sound you are going for in the mix.
For me as you now know I am a freak when it comes to hearing compression on tracks. After listen to your other work
I can hear you are pulling the use of compression back.

For me  the drums Are still over compressed on drum buss.  Just a thought and you might be doing this already, compress the kick and snare 3db gain reduction on the track and a little on over heads and none on the drum buss; firstly its easy to get a good sound balance on drums and then mess it up with compression on the drum buss.

pull out the lows on you acoustic reverb to clean bottom end. They have a nice tone some times hearing the compression pulling in and out.
This is taking shape in many ways and your balances are moving in the right direction.
At this time compression is helping in some areas  but taking away and making thing sound strange in others.

overall though this is not at all a bad mix , and I can hear progression through  your mixes, so be encouraged.



Keep on keeping on

 Thanks for your comments Rustyruss they  are good have now cut the  compression gives the song more space add more low end maybe to much and put the electric guitars  up more in the mix as well
