Living in the city - first attempt at a "live" mix
#3
Hey Sanbiki,

I feel you have assebled the tracks provided nicely. The panning is nice and you captured a cohesive sounds. But because the recordings themselfes are not the best I think you could tweak some things:

Overall the mix is a bit muddy or full. Probably lots of low-mid clutter.

The lead vocals sounded very clear to my surprise, although a bit to harsh at times and sit too loud in the mix. The consonants come out pretty aggressively. Maybe try some opto-style compression.

I noticed obvious cut points on the vocals. Maybe crossfade longer and dont kill the noise entirely but reduce it in volume. That way it will sound smoother. In my mix I completly scrapped the BGVs. Way too much bleed to provide anything useful.

The drums are a bit lacking. The snare tone is very nice (better then my results) but the drums dissappear. The cymbals have some ugly frequencies in the mid and top end.

hope you find that helpful!

Cheers,
LukasAngel
