Now,
does the world need another mix of this song? Well... I guess it cannot hurt. I still love it. And I think that before I post more comments on other people's mixes, I should post something to comment back on
I started working on this months ago, and revisited it from time to time. My original intention was to make it barn-dry and a bit dusty and seedy, and space the instruments as realistically as possible. Then I could not resist the textures and the interplay of the stringed instruments and celebrated a Haas fest.
I reached a point with this mix where my decisions become oscillating ("tad bit more vocals... ah, no, rather less"). Probably a good time to take a break and collect some feedback.
I'm happy enough with it, to be honest. I wanted the bass a bit woody and hollow (inspired by Ian's mix), the drums rather washed out, and spotlight the best moments of the stringed instruments. I think I accomplished that to a certain extent. The thing that I am unhappy with is the crash. And I knowingly sacrificed some mono compatibility.
Anything else? Bass too boomy? Vocals too edgy? What do you think?
