Coldroom Mix of Upper Hand

[ptalbot]

I remember this one fH! A really fine job, but I came to expect nothing less from you!

I don't know what you changed on this version, it would seem that the acoustic guitars are more prominent, are they? (I'm not comparing, just had the impression they were a bit mellower in your previous version). If that's the case, I think I prefer them a little bit smoother. I would bet a little bit of transient designer, or a shorter attack on your compressor perhaps? Perhaps you could actually automate that to make them smoother at first then bring more transients as the mix gets fuller to help them cut through?

I remember the subtle delays on the vocal and the big reverb on the snare, and the great driving bass... still there!

I would guess you've changed the tuning of the lead vocal, I remember it was doing a different melody than what I intended and it was throwing me off a little bit.

All in all, aside perhaps for the acoustics transients (a small nitpick, sorry!) that's a superb job. I love it!
