I miss the Seattle days

[Krabbe]

Hello there
I too believe the vocals can come forward a bit more.. funny, my mix sounded too bright for you.. now yours sounds too muddy for me Lol.. maybe we should find an in between point here.
I think there is very lil clarity on the kick. cutting off some 300 hz on the kick would help bring some clarity on it.
Snare sounds fat and full.. I'd just use a bright reverb to go with it to compensate for all that full ness.. sometimes too full makes the clarity on things push back.

other than that the balances are good! .. just that left guitar that is quite louder than the right one.

Thanks for comments. It's much appreciated.

I like this kind of music to bit a bit gritty. Lots of music today has to be ...well, basically sub and HF ... no, what I mean is that today's trend is that music production should be as polished as possible and that's fine. However, I do believe that a song like this should be a little dirtier; it's rock N' roll!

In general I do cut very conservatively. I have been cutting the kick at around 300, but maybe a more aggressive cutting strategy wouldn't be out of the question.

I intentionally let the snare be as it is be, because I cound't find a sufficiently diry snare verb. Instead I compensated by giving it some NY-love, hence the fullness.

The guitar balance puzzled me a little bit, so I ended up looking at meters instead of listening. I do however believe that the unbalance you're hearing is more psychological than physical, if that makes any sense. Nevertheless, if perception is that it is unbalanced, then unbalanced it is.
