Hey, boys & girls! Hello from Russia!
My name is Ilya Karmanov and here is my first mix here and third mix that I had ever finished!
Just a few notes about this work: well, when I mixed it - I choose for references some of Fall Out Boy's and Panic! At the Disco's old good tracks from the old good times... When I was young and carefree.
Anyway, I replaced (added, to be honest, not replaced) the kick & snare drums, and make all the track as loud as I can and then I added the limiter to make this louder! Just like it mastered, but not exactly. You will hear.
I enjoed to mix this great rock track, and you - please enjoy to listen it and please don't hesitate to leave a comment. I'll try to stand it!
Thanks for your attention and i'm sorry for my english, hope your eyes not bleeding!
Hi ikarm nice use of drum sample, nice mix the only thing I would say is that the vocals are a little loud ànd I miss some delay automation imo,other than that it's a good mix, thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I don't use triggers in this song. It's an ableton live's audio-to-midi algorithm with some of my correcctions after converting.

Thanks for your comment! Yes, maybe you're right and the vocals would need to do a little quieter... I tryed to make some volume automation and should be trim the channel volume a little bit after that. About delay automation - I think that it's a matter of taste. A did a little bit of automation for reverb and 8th delay for vocals on the choruses, but it's almost imperceptibly. But thanks for listening, I appreciate it.

Hello
"Vox is a bit too upfront in comparison with guitars.
*there is a ringing frequency in vocals around 2khz. Also there is a bit of an excess of low there too.
*balance seems good.
*good job replacing the drums. I felt for this mix it was necessary.
*bass is lost in the mix. I can barely hear it. Is mostly low energy and that conflicts with the kick at points.
*toms could come up on volume as they are far back in the mix.
All in all not a bad mix. Good job.

Ok, I got it about vocals, it's look like the dynamic eq may work better with it.
Toms - is a big question for me, I tried to balance it back and forth, little louder and little quiter... and I left them in volume that you hear.
And about bass - it is always a weak point for me. I will pay more attention to it.
