Hi Newton
Thanks for mixing the track - I'm glad you like working on our songs - we enjoy sharing them ! I can also share more - it took quarantine to finally package up this one to send to Mike
Seems like a great start on a mix - like the vibe at the chorus for sure. I think most of my comments are balance related in nature, so that next phase of the mix process I am sure would tackle them. Observations:
- low end on kick - feeling a lot of low energy on my sub - worth checking. I think less there, more on the bass guitar would be good.
- drums in general sound good - like your snare sound !
- lead vocal reverb. I love reverb, but there is a lot on the lead vocal which pushes it back in the mix for me. Perhaps some automation of the amount for choice phrases etc and trade for a few delays or something
- mix loses some momentum at the bridge, as the verse guitar is mixed hotter than the bridge guitar
- vocal level at chorus is too hot relative to the verse - jumped out at me a bit
- the guitar lead guitar needs some delay/reverb or widening effect added to it - it sounds stark next to the lead vocal with a lot of reverb on it.
- background vocal a bit loud relatively to lead vocal - took my attention away from the lead
- a few more moments of effect ear candy would be cool
Hope this helps - it really does sound on it's way to a solid mix !
