Hi!
Thanks for giving it a listen, and for sharing your thoughts.
On reflection, I think you are totally right with your comments, much appreciated.
I wasn't sure of the final vocal level, and I could push them up a bit more. Perhaps the guitar is a bit loud in the intro too? I found that first transition tough, as it is quite a contrast I feel, but maybe a better vocal level would have helped there, rather than the louder guitar.
Not sure why, but I really struggled to settle on something with the drums, and you are right, the snare did somehow end up at the back of the mix. I probably need to use more gating, etc, than I did. Listening back now they don't really sound like a cohesive unit in my mix at all. I was totally trying to go for some sort of 80's thing with this, as the guitars and arrangement brought that feel to my mind.
Thanks for the tip with the mids - you are right. I can hear a few things to fix there.
Chorus - yes I think there needs to be at least a bit more contrast there, or something, perhaps.
I'll give it another go, starting with the drums. Hopefully I can get them working properly as a solid unit and then build from there. I've certainly got plenty of ideas and things in mind to try now thanks to all the comments and suggestions.
Many thanks!
Cheers!
