Colour Me Red @ The Wild-Eyed Sinner's Ball

[Mixinthecloud]

Version 4
Unleashed Again - Colour Me Red (Contest submission)
This version was adjusted for lead guitar riff content and mastering was altered to ensure least pumping with volume.

Took a listen to the new version. Only two points that jumped out at me:

1) The vocal sounds a little distant, in comparison to the guitars panned hard L/R.
2) The chorus arrives with a little less impact than might be ideal. Like it's missing something on the distorted side (I think that's because the excellent distorted guitar riff is prominent during the verses).

But small quibbles there :-) Its a good mix. Cheers, Jeff

Jeff,
Thanks for the listen and the comments. The energy in the chorus I tried to 'make up' by using the Rhodes. It may mask the guitar or may not be the best approach for that section. I can say the Rhodes is difficult to instantiate considering the thickness of the guitars and bass in that section as well. After listening to the vocal at lots of different levels I swayed toward the laid off edge of the sword partly to ensure the placement of the pulse of the riffs in the song. So you are correct in your assessment of the vocal placement. Again, many thanks for your ears and input.
