µ : 'Too Bright'
#4
I'm also seeing some issues with the verse snare at least. I'm not hearing the "punch". I'm suspecting some summing issues with the two snare tracks. I suggest you check the polarities to see if you've got some bottom end hidden there. I feel this is a recurring problem in your mixes: different mics from a same source don't sum well. It all starts with the polarity switch. Phase is more powerful than EQ, you cannot add anything with an EQ that the summing of multiple channels is taking away. I wonder if you have latency compensation issues (or turned off). Also in this song the snare tracks were really thin to begin with, don't be afraid to add 15 dBs to 200 Hz to "normalize" it. I wasn't Wink

FWIW the chorus snare sounds just fine.

However many other things in the chorus don't. First of all the doubled backing vocals almost beg to be panned to opposite sides to create that "big, modern" sounds. The synth bass should also feature some "bass" Smile It's also a silly choice to pan it off center. In electronica genres it's usually not a problem to widen those bass synths with some doubling FX to make them sound bigger. The fewer the elements, the bigger everything can be.

You really nailed the vocals in this mix. The verse vocals sound spot on! The low pass filter on the chorus lead vocal is a bit crude solution but it gets the job done; no more harshness.
