You Know Better - HB Mix

Nice Balanced mix I like the ambient sound ,The drums have some resonant frequencies I'm guessing being enhanced by the room and being picked by all drum mic's and some ringing at 171hz and 224 hz which sounds like are being enhanced by the effects.
As already mentioned which maybe contributing to a little build up of frequencies in the low end.
The cymbals maybe masking the air of the vocals around 3-5k.

Just some thoughts on a great mix .
Cheers Big Grin

Hey Don,

Thanks for the feedback....always great to get a second pair of ears to suss out issues that I've become oblivious to. Will work on that drum resonance and cymbal brightness as suggested.

Cheers,

Simon

Final mix for competition.

New version, 2.0. Same overall vibe but with a few changes under the hood.
- adjust overall ambience for improved clarity
- re-balance drums (kick, snare, cymbals)
- clear out mud for tighter low end
- made more use of whistles and claps
- m/s eq adjustments of instruments for better mono compatibility
- bit more work on vox tonality and placement
- various automation moves to improve long term song dynamics

Thanks for everyone's comments.
