Right, I've been rehearsing this first draft of the mix and there are a couple of things I noticed:
1. First of all, I only now read the 'About this Multitrack' topic. I see that things were meant to be distorted a bit more
I kinda like the clean character though. (probably 've been listening to much to Above & Beyond and the like).
2. Other than that I think the bass is too subby. A bit more distortion will bring it more forward, also the volume could be a tad lower then.
3. Not all transitions are super fluent. The most noticable is the introduction of synth 3 and 4. Tweaking the FX volumes would probably help.
4. Synth 3 and 4 could be made more exciting to make it pop more
5. I don't really dig the pads in the breakdown atm, even though they sound pretty wide. Some (volume) automation could help in bringing them alive. I've also been playing around with the idea to narrow the stereo image in the first section (till the breakdown) to make the last section seem more impressive.
6. That bar 65 kick...
7. Lastly, the final section is really long and doesn't bring to much new stuff. Some automation or arrangement edits might help to keep the track interesting...
Anyone else to add something?
