Help !

[Primalmix]

Hi Dangerous, thanks so much for the valuable feedback. I remixed with your ideas and it was a great improvement. Not all the way there in my opinion - still can't get it to sound like what I hear in my head, but a big difference. Thanks again !

Hi Gary,

Overall I think your mix is not too bad, your brass arrangement and balance seems pretty good with nothing obvious sticking out and the overall room ambience sounds quite good and to my liking. I feel the drums are too quiet and buried within the mix. There seems to be a lacking of higher frequencies within the mix which may be a monitoring thing as I don't remember needing to emphasise these frequencies when mixing this track. Just watch for your lower mid bass build up through out using eq to carve out these unwanted frequencies in each of your tracks. I'm not sure of your approach to compression, but I find that brass requires very little compression. Maybe some bus compression and gentle levelling but of course everybody has a different idea on this and it has a lot to do with taste. Anyway I'm only a bit of a hack at this myself and only mix songs for fun as a hobby as time permits. Hopefully you will receive some additional comments and advise. Well Done.
Dave.
