Colour Me Red-memphis Style

[Memphis Black]

Yo Memphis! how goes it?

I really like the raw swagger you have going with this mix

Couple of thoughts

1. Are you sure about your choice of bottom end champion? You have a great driving bass, but the kick is almost inaudible....have a listen to the verses. For me the kick should be clear and punctuate the vocal, but I'm having a real hard time hearing it...I can hear the beater, but not any real thump. Some of that is maybe because of the acoustic guitar level being fairly hot and possibly masking it....but I think some of it has to do with the overall drum balance.

2. and because I'm not hearing any kick thump, i feel the mix is missing out on a bit of natural drum groove between kick and snare....i cant really see the drummer playing in my minds eye.

3. if you decide to re-balance drums etc, you may want to look at bottom end / mid range balance. At the moment the mid range seems a wee bit dominant.

That said, this is a tricky mix. well done and keep it up.

Cheers, Simon

Hi Simon
thanks for the feedback mate, I do sometimes struggle with not letting the kick out of its cage as it can over power the mix. I did spend many attempts trying to get the bass and kick to separate but will definitely have a look at that. I do like smooth lol

again many thanks ,its great to get feedback on my mixes

Keep Rockin
