Stitch Up mix by Simman

[grizwalter]

Ok here's the updated mix. Went back and put a little more meat on the guitars (thanks grizwalter) and push the volume a bit. tweaked the automation in some spots as well. Welcome your feedback.

Thanks

Hello again sir!

The guitars are much improved. That's the first thing. Some folks noted the high end issues, but I think an overall mastering job might bring everything into a more "glued together" state in that regard.

Now for the bad news (I hate when that happens!): This song is a tricky one, and there could be a million approaches, but to my ear your mix is too thin, but not the way it was before working on the guitars. I found in doing my mix for this recently that a lot of mirror eq'ing and subtractive methods were the way to go. The guitars are going to compete, and to top it all off, there is distortion on the bass tracks at times which really needs to come out as well.

You might want to take a listen to the original mix of this song again. If you aren't comfortable mastering your mixes yet, by all means I could do it for you and that might help, uh, stitch this one up? (Sorry, had to do it.) Just got all my mastering stuff in place, finally, after over a year without the ability to finalize mixes that way, so I'm a happy boy and looking for excuses to do work for free! haha

Also, I'd love it if you took a listen to my recent mix of Stitch Up as well. God knows I've had enough to say about yours, some revenge is warranted!
