I mastered the first upload after mixing the song for 3 hrs so my ears were a little compressed and after today's listen I didn't like the low end much and the track was too hot. I did some low end control and brought the guitars up a little in master and darkened the vocals a bit. I think I should have eq'ed the vocal reverb a bit more but I'm not going back to the mix- I think I am done with this song.
Comments welcome. If commenting please mention your playback monitoring source. I like to know how it translates.
I like the second mix. Listened on monitors and headphones.
Really warm mix overall. Would translate nicely to vinyl. The intro guitars are a bit dull. Some EQ and drive go a long way on those.
The current loud(ish) FX on the vox in particular, will likely be challenging to deal with during a master. Using a fairly aggressive limiter and/or compressor on the master bus during production, will help you have a better idea of what a master might reveal in that regard.
EDIT:
Just reread your comments... if this is your master, your FX are fine.
