This sounds pretty good in my car. I like your balances.
Back vocals sound a bit hurried at times.
There is a lead voice in the bridge that sounds a kinda raw and dry in comparison with the other one singing.
This is not an easy mix I don't remember it being easy at least for me. Good take on it for sure.

Hey Shul,

Thanks for listening and for your feedback
You're right, not an easy one, for sure. I guess there might be some BVs I forgot to route to their respective Bus

Cheers,
Andrei

Hey,

The balance sounds good and it's punchy. I like what you've done with the cymbals/overheads.

A couple things stuck out to me.
The solo in the beginning is rushing a bit. R04 mix has it right. The synth is a good reference if you have trouble doing it by ear.
The background vocals in the chorus have a lot of low mid mud.

It's a messy mix, good work.

Hey sondretski,

Thanks for listening and for your feedback
I will consider you're referring to my latest mix v3.

Yeah, you're absolutely right it's rushed a bit, guess I didn't listen to the song one more time before exporting.
For the BG's that might be true, I personally haven't noticed that, might be the fact that I never listen to a mix on a "full blown" volume, especially this one which I remember was a bit "tiresome" to mix

For sure I'll review this in near future, maybe a mix from scratch too

Cheers,
Andrei

Hey I love that clicky Kick drum on your newest revision! It sits very nicely with the bass.

The one thing that stood out to me is the lead guitar at the choruses, it sounds like its muddying up the mix a bit (maybe eq out some of the conflicting frequencies on the lead?)

Love the short reverb you have on the vox, Right On!
