Hey Pat. Thanks for listening and your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm amazed that so much of your song structure is midi and samples. It sounds great and I find it really responsive to my mixing techniques.
I had to laugh when I read your comments about guitar on rhs. I agonized over the panning and level for that. Trying to find a balance where you hear it and it's relevant but not dominant but not too quiet it's irrelevant. I even changed my mind once I'd posted the mix online, hence the 1a version. I'm away from my studio for a week having a break so can't recheck it but it's probably only a matter of a dB or so.
Same thing for BGVs - always a challenge to have them sitting just right.
Hadn't even considered the bass level in the drop! That's a great idea and I've been guilty before of not automating levels in these moments in other recent mixes... I used to.... I guess my attention has been focused elsewhere .... So it's great to take away a lesson from every mix... Hopefully I'll remember next time.
Cheers
