I tried not to really peg the output buss with to much compression or limiting, it's there but made conscience effort for it to not be noticeable. I thought of bands like After The Fire, Falco, The Human League and even U2 for reference. U2 wasn't really New Wave but the vocals on this track kind of remind me of Bono's voice. Guitars are low in the mix and the keys and bass are more upfront. Seems that was a popular sound in this genre in the early 80's. So this is my 2nd attempt at mixing something I didn't record and produce myself. My personal goal in doing this is to be a better mixer purely from mixing more and in different styles that are outside of my comfort zone. Any feedback is appreciated. There's been a lot of good mixes on here of this tune. The multitracks are recorded very well and sounded pretty good straight from the get go. Credit to who ever tracked it in the first place.Hi there, I also mixed this song, great recording, it was fun to work on it.
I'm not really experienced in mixing yet, but there are two things I would change in your mix: hihat is way too loud to my taste and also I would give a little bit more high mids to the lead vocal to make it stand out more.
I really like the rest of your mix, great work!
