What a flipping rocking tune! I had fun with this one, very catchy.
Vocals and guitar solos are very "up-front", kind of had to be that way.
This song pretty much mixed itself once I got started Smile
Let me know what you think, I'll be glad to hear how it can be improved.
Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. I see what you mean, I always have trouble getting toms to sound good. I'll have a mess around with them Smile

Right, toms sorted (I think). Pretty sure they sound a bit better now.

That is so much better,its much cleaner sounding,i think there id a very tiny bit still somewhere but you have to listen for it
it was very bad before.I find i good gate with top and bottom cuts do the trick with ringing toms.
Did you sidechain the kick and bass as they sound like it?

Yeah, thats what I went for in the end, gates and a tad more EQ. Thanks for the advice, takka!

And no, no sidechaining. I just sort of sculpt out the low end with EQ.

Very, very nice job. The bass is missing a bit to me, but overall a very balanced mix. I like the vocals being out front without being overpowering. Great job!

Thanks for the comment, Johnny, I appreciate it.
I might try and improve the bass problem if I get the chance.
