I tried really hard to get this mix to have that emotional Impact It should have. Loved it the moment I heard it and I did my best to make it solid.
I hope I managed to produce that energy that makes you space out in a nostalgic moment.
anyways
Feedback is always welcomed so please do drop a comment about it.
Hey Shul ,
I like your mix,sounds pretty well balanced,I think the vocals could come up a touch or maybe they could being masked by a ringing resonance of the acoustic guitars at somewhere between 120 and 130hz area ,i think i had to notch out around 124hz with a narrow parametric eq to tame it.
A touch more bottom end on the bass and kick would sound great and a slight dip around the 4k area.
The electric comes in at around 2.00 sounds a touch heavy by about 3 or 6 db in somewhere around the 500 and 1.5k area .
Just some thoughts while having a critical listening on headphones.

Hey TheDon thank you for your time and feedback!
I found my first mix too compressed so I used oz4 for mastering.
Remixed taking into consideration what you said.
v2 sounds better?

Version 2 sounds much better ,I can still hear the the ringing on the guitar and noticed I that typed in 120hz-130hz ,when i should have typed 220-230 and a narrow parametric dip at 224hz ,try that and you will hear the difference ,sorry for the bum steer
good job with the oz4 mastering

I just checked and I did hear that resonance.. I also got a new pair of monitors. Took out the ugly guitar freq. but the mix will sound a bit different since I'm getting used to the makcies MR5. I will upload soon.
Hello Shul!
Really amazing mix! Commercial quality! It really captures the feeling you said and I really like your orchestra, pretty clear and distinct! What you did with the vocals on the right towards the end is also really nice!
One thing I think would be interesting to hear is the guitar coming in on 2:00, spread a bit on the field. It sounds to me a bit rough and in the middle-back-down position while I would expect it in a more larger-than-life-around-me position to compliment the song's increase in passion-feeling-intensity ! I use lots of technical terms, haha!
Also, maybe the pad vocals in the end crowd it too much.
I'll let you know when I mix this (it will be a few weeks down the road)! I would really like your feedback!

hey man thanks for the feedback of course if you let me know I could definitely give you feedback on your mix I'm glad you like mine
I'll look into those details next time I mix this song again
Sweet Mix. You know that I like a huge kick so the V2 is better for me.
Had a tough time on the last big swell-lots of stuff happening so it was hard for me to pick which one to go with. the pan on the vocals there seems to put them a little far back for my taste-and the guitar work is not that powerful to sacrifice it in my opinion.
Otherwise I'm jealous as your mix is lots cleaner than mine with a lot more top end. I tamed it maybe too much in my mix.
I posted my mix at K20 if you want to give your mastering prowess a go.
