Hey Kapu

Cool Mix!

Hey Kapu [...]

thansk for listening! basically started with the drums, kinda liked the 'industry standard' slate sample room sound, so compressed it and brought it up. then kinda 'tried to fit it in' with rest of stuff washing them with reverbs. ^_^

I can hear some nasty distortion seven seconds in. Not sure if it's intended, but it didn't work for me on the first impression. Another thing that's getting my attention in not a great way is the transient of the kick drum. It feels a tad too midrangey to me and it could be more defined. I like what you did with the voice and the big big space of the mix while keeping it upfront and not washy.

I really like the sound of the vocals.
