I guess, Valladares,
you get that all the time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSJSzLWsUTc ...?!
I'm no audio pro either... but I've heard mixes from pros that underwhelmed me decisively, so it does not bother me too much. I found, though, that mixing 'natural' music without halfway decent monitors is very, very difficult.
I won't have access to my monitors (see above) for a couple of days, but when I have, I'll listen to it. And I usually find something comment-worthy :-)
Yes, I absolutely agree! In principle. I have only two points: this song, as I 'read' it, is a very intimate one, and for me, that asks for a similarly intimate sonic space. But that is my response. Yours is different, and I am glad you went with yours.
But! The degree of sibilance I worry about here (and that uzilevi worried about in my mix, even if it is dull in comparison) is a technical problem, I'd say, and no longer a matter of taste.
My suggestion is that you closely examine the waveform around 0:42. If my recollection is correct, the "s" consists of two legitimate amplitude bumps, followed by a third on. That's a hissing sound. Cut it out and see if you like the result. (I would hesitate to use a deesser on this track.)
Your what?
Regards
Marc
