Thanks for mixing our track - sorry for the delay in responding ! I just had a listen through this afternoon. Most of my comments are subjective in nature, but I liked your mix a lot. In fact the verse guitar treatment that kinda blends into the synth (you'll need to tell me) was the highlight of your mix for me, and would stand out for me amongst the many other mixes I have listened to for "favourite verse guitar". Thanks for that !
I also liked the other guitar treatments - I am the guitar player and a sucker for delay, so the end solo part was good for me (although I might suggest lowering the delay level a bit) as well as I liked the intro guitar treatment.
Things I can also offer for your consideration:
- my sub felt like it was working pretty hard on the bass guitar. May be worth a check
- I was thinking that a more expansive snare would be nice - it sounded a little dry vs. other mix elements. I had the same thought on the BV parts - needed more reverb or something to push them back as they sounded more upfront than the lead vocal at times.
- the vocal delays on the last line into the chorus were a bit distracting to me - too quick a repeat and the level felt hot
- last comment is a guitar one - in the chorus parts, the distorted guitars felt a little hot vs. the lead vocal. I also felt the middle solo guitar was pushed behind the rhythm guitar and drums, so the same comment may help with that.
I hope this helps - thanks again for mixing the track !
