Whooh!!! Head spin with the intro, Tom.

I like your mix, great effects on the vocal. Great sound, your usual high standard. The only issue for me was with the click sound associated with the bass, which is a bit prominent, from memory though, this was difficult to deal with.

Well Done.

Wow Thanks for the props!!! I still have yet to listen to your mix and others....been so busy....will definitely do it cause I like give careful and not just cursory listening to others' mixes, and that takes time. I am definitely going back into this mix and try to fix some things. As for the bass, I kind of left the clicking in there because it tended to come through the mix a bit better....but other ways exist to do that. I'm going to try transient reduction on the bass and eq it differently and maybe some excitation, etc. We'll see how all that goes. Don suggested my mix was too thin....needed more low end....what say you?

Don knows all about bass! I've heard that he's got a job with the government, as part of their earthquake early recognition system. He can pick up on tremors from any part of the globe with just his ears! Amazing. lol.
Seriously, yes I think Don has a point. The kick is low and heavy which is making the bass sound not so deep in respect. Maybe just a case of balancing things up a bit. Time for some experimenting I guess. I went for the other approach, made the bass guitar go deep and tried to keep the kick above the 70-80hz mark. I based this on some referencing I made.
I don't think it could be a "Tommy" mix without a big kick though.

LOL....the comments about Don....had me on the floor! Thanks for your input and your approach. I have some time now to listen to some other's mixes including yours so I'll see you in the comments there. I am about to upload an updated mix. This one I made some changes including going for a more spread out mix, more sizzle in the high end, but I did go for the low end kick dominating but I think I managed to get the bass to work well with it. I did cut that bass with a pretty steep low cut slope with a "natural phase" setting using Fabfilter eq, which I just love. So, we'll see if it holds up to scrutiny. I went kinda crazy with some effects on the guitars in sections and otherwise just had some creative fun. See ya sooooooooon,
