hey Pat....its all good
Its not always easy to match a gut reaction feeling with a technically correct solution when listening to others peoples mixes as most times we can only really guess how someone else has put their mix together.
I rarely give specific technical solution based feedback for that reason - there are a few guys out there who really know their chops technically and can pick a mix apart e.g. Dave aka The metallurgist ....but I'm not one of them.
That said......I'm not defending my mixes (ver1 & 2). I'm in absolute agreement with you.....the drums are way out of balance....the snare has too much smack in the close mic. and the OH/Rooms are way too loud in the overall drum mix hence the overbearing cymbals etc etc....shocking really!
Ver 3 will be inbound shortly
