Blues Bastards - Lights Out

[EarWeGo]

The lead vocal doesn't reach out properly, it's like too far in front not having lot of life, your snare reverb sound a bit cheap too.

Interesting. On re-listen I'm not sure I agree. the vocal may be a bit out front in the beginning, sure, but it sits fine in the rest of the tune. That's a simple automation fix. But I can't say it lacks 'life'. I'm still buying whatever the vocalist is selling and honestly, I don't know shat he's selling. I'm not sure he is either. Which isn't meant to be an insult at all it's just a bit non sensical.

As far as the snare reverb, I had to really listen and focus to notice it and in dissenting opinion I don't think it sounds cheap, though I bet it was free. It sounds fine. It feels like a gated reverb. It works for the busy track. Dated? Maybe. But that works for the song. 

I dunno the criticism seems a bit hit and run and random - something I'm admittedly guilty of doing often - but not really helpful. What, if anything did you like of the tracks? Seems oddly harsh but maybe it's a French thing.

Well, I was just pointing things that pop right away while listening, that's all.

He was equally critical with my mix, so looks like it's not a "French thing" after all, who told you I was French btw? That's! odd
