Yeah, I'm not completely satisfied with this one. Maybe this boxiness you're hearing is what's subconsciously troubling me. I think your observations maybe similar to what Don was also hearing in the mix.

Thanks mate

I think nearly every mix I do is either too boxy or too brittle (or both) at some stage and its really only once i get a mix nearly finished and I can compare against some reference tracks that i start to fine tune the spectral balance - so i feel your pain

Interesting! I think the greatest skill set improvement I've made over the part couple of years in this regard would be that of "Listening" so I'm finding I'm getting closer to my desired sound these days with less effort which has positive results all the way round. But there are still those challenging moments that I still tend hang myself on time and time again.
