I agree with DDL and Joe, using a bit of tape saturation and a a touch more buss comp would really glue it together nicely, as a suggestion try using a 4:1 ratio on your SSL buss comp with a 10 ms attack and 100 ms release and aim for about 2.5-4 dBs of reduction, that's my usual setting when I'm using it on my master buss.Hey DCP, Thanks for your input. I'll have a look at those settings/signal chain set-up before posting 2.1.
The only other thing/things I can think of is that the electric guitar in the left channel is cool sounding albeit a touch too saturated for the picked sections, the distortion is really mushing together all the piking going on there and starts to feel like white noise. I found that using a mic preamp style saturation on the verge of breakup into a cab impulse worked quite well. The backup vocals could also be lowered a touch in the mix, otherwise they sound awesome.
My comments are more nitpick rather than anything major, really this is a great sounding mix.
Great work and cheers,
Dcp
Cheers, Simon
Be fierce in your encouragement, kind in your criticism and try and remember that the art of a good critique is not to make someone else's mix sound like yours...but to help the mixer realize their own vision.
