OK!!! I liked mixing this one. I always like a challenge having to work with "pre-mixed" tracks like this one (the drum tracks I'm talking about). Here's the way I approached it. First, I did not like the snare sticking out on the right side and I wasn't a fan of the ping-pong kick thing. So, I did away with all of that, without adding one thing except a snare sample blended in on the low side. I did not sound-replace anything (not even the kick). The bass was enhanced with plugins as were all the other tracks. This was mixed in the box. I did take a few liberties in the arrangement adding some of those nice piano parts in other areas of the song. I sort of played "producer" here....sorry to the band if they don't like it, but after hearing the song THIS MIX is what I immediately heard in my head. Hope you like it. Comments welcomed.
Peace,
Tom
