Whisper to a Scream - Scott's Mix

[Pedaling Prince]

Here is my attempt at this song.

As for the mix, I didn't do anything too different. Glad that the drums weren't SSD this time (at least to my ears, they don't sound like SSD). Left more room for creative freedom. There was a couple spots that there was a frequency in the vocals that got on my nerves. It was on the word scream during the choruses. It was around 2k. I notched it out and got the vocals to finally sit where I wanted them to.

I am pretty happy with the way the mix turned out. Let me know what you guys think!

Little too much compression for my taste; besides imparting a bit of distortion throughout the song it also tends to crank up the noise towards the end. Also, bass drum is a little "clicky" for my taste; I'd rather hear more "thump."

Those seem to be the only problems, though; otherwise I really like this! You did an excellent job of giving the guitars some stereo "space" and I gotta love the thump of the toms panning across the stereo field towards the end. Also, you did an excellent job balancing the vocals, and that notch at 2 kHz you mentioned to tame the sharpness of "scream" worked really well.
