Hey guys,
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Much appreciated! I agree the mix was too bass heavy and somewhat too squashed. I suppose the drum buss compression paired with two different compressors on the main bus was a bit over the top. I used a different compressor on the drums now and generally tuned down the compression a bit. And it seems like there was too much germanium drive on the main bus as well, which lead to too much low end. I also tamed the overheads somewhat, and turned down the lead vocal as well, as I thought these were a bit too much. Overall, I think version 2 sounds a bit lighter and more transparent.
Any feedback would be great, of course.
Cheers,
Guido
