Colour me Red mixed by Dcp

After taking a break from the mix for about a week and coming back to it, here's what I came up with. The drums are unedited like my first master, editing them made the drums sound too machine like and took away the groove of the track.

Agree with you on the drums. The timing isn't perfect, but I also decided against starting down that path. Seems a bit more authentic with some variation.

Notes, after listening to the mix:

1) The intro is too quiet (it almost took my head off when the first verse kicked in!). If you wanted to keep the effect though, maybe a fade up combined with a filter sweep, so it sounds like it's coming from the distance, but then ends at a more sensible level before the verse kicks in?

2) The lead vocal is the highlight of this mix. Very nice processing. Slap delay works well. Guitars also sound good on the latest mix.

3) The drums sound good: except for the kick/compressor interaction. Can't quite put my finger on it, but it didn't seem to quite work (to my ears.)

Hope this helps. Cheers, Jeff
