Had a quick couple of listens and had some thoughts -
I feel that everything seems to be getting in the way of each other a little bit with this mix and as a result the vocal is getting lost. My thinking is that if *everything* is compressed to be punchy and hard hitting, then actually nothing is punchy and hard hitting. For my taste you have got to have a bit more contrast. I'd suggest maybe picking 2 or 3 main elements, then build everything around that. I think you can get quite a bit more of a sense of space and width out of this one maybe?
Cheers!
thanks for listening, i actually have 3 compressors in serial on the mixbus, wasnt meant to be finished like that, but no compression anywhere else except the drums bass and vocal i think. I gave up for now because the amount of eq's is slowing down the cpu too much, so i need to go in and change some for less intensive ones to finish off, i will keep your advice in mind when i return to it
