Hey Tom, sorry mate but this suffers from the same problems as the original, way over compressed and pretty brutal on the ears tbh. First thing I did was turn it down. The tracks were mostly already crushed so not a lot of point compressing stuff again, and the gtrs need a lot of work, there's just so much harshness in those tracks in the first place, pretty much unusable really. Sorry to be negative, but I know you value honest opinion, I can only suggest uncompressing everything and start taming the gtrs. Also found the original room and overheads tracks were useless too, just crushed and fizzy so you could look at them too. Ended up using samples for the crashes myself. Normally a fan of distorted vocs, and not saying yours dont sound ok, its just that in a track like this there's so much going on in that upper mid frequency already, I'm not sure that the saturation is helping any. And please keep in mind I just spent 2 days mixing the song myself so probably more than over it. Thought your last mix on WV was excellent btw, dunno if you saw my comment, but if you can do stuff as good as that then its obvious this one could be a lot better. Stu.
