My attempt, critique awaited
#1
Hey there, fellow mixing students.
Just decided to show you guys my attempt on this great song. Feel free to tell me whats good and bad about my mix, maybe something is annoying to you or needs an improvement.
I mostly used Reaper stock plugins, with some Lexicon reverb here and there.
Really looking forward for some feedback.Rolleyes

Hey, not too shabby!

So, I'd like to start off by saying I do NOT consider myself any sort of an expert on mixing / mastering / etc.

Pros -
+ I really like the echo you layered on the lead guitar in the intro.
+ I like where you placed the guitars in the mix for the verses.
+ The track volumes seem pretty well balanced (exception below).

Cons -
- The volume of the full mix seems quiet (when played side-by-side to Spotify)
- The bass guitar seems a bit loud (Though, that could also just be my headphones)
- Other than the echo in the intro, this mix seems ... dry. I don't feel like any individual part is focused / spotlighted.

I also think the reverb overall could be a bit more apparent, to give more of a sense of the room.

Again, all of this is another amateur's opinion. Good work!

[Selfish Plug] I'd like to hear your opinion on my version of this song (next post up). I think the bass guitar still cuts through a bit much on my version...
