Hi :-)
I´m completely new here. Firstly I´d like to say...great idea!! I´m really excited about having the opportunity to practice and improve my mixing skills.
Basically I'm more of live sound engineer than Studio, although I do fiddle around with a couple of bands here at home for fun. Loved this song and just HAD to have a go at mixing it. A couple of things drove me nuts with it though. The crackling on the bass for starters, so i gated it and tried to sort it out through that. The other thing....the drums were somewhat annoying, no direct Hihat microphone and really hard overheads. I love direct sounding drums...(must be a live thing) and I really felt the guitars were well balanced.
But what do you guys think?
Looking forward to your comments
