Had a real hard time makin this - and the saying "you never really finish a mix, you just give up on it" comes to mind
Anyway, I like it better than what i started out with.
Comments, suggestions and opinions are welcome as always, as long as you dont tell me to change somthin.
Nah, I guess I just have heard it a time too many and leave up to you to give advise for a fresh remake, when my ears have gotten back to normal, whatever that is
Thx if you listen !
OBS: further down this page is a little test with 2 slightly diffrently treated versions of an alternative mix, with some changes you suggested. One treated with the effect I want to ask if you like or not, the other without. I am very interested in hearin your opinion on this !

Some nice stuff going on.i think the bass is a bit much .
Maybe a bit of ds on the lead vox would be better.
I like the piano sound and synth.
I think the guitars are a bit too loud in the chorus and
the vox could come up a tad.
All in all tho not a bad mix .well done
I like the point of view you've given to the song!! very different from other mixes I've heard from this song! Btw, I love the vocal treatment you've given the singer!! congrats!!

Thats a darn good answer Alan
I gave the guitars a lot o juice on purpose, and can easily back them of a tad
Voice up is so easy and I´ll give the voice distortion a little massage too.
Thank you

Thanks Juan. Vocal is actually (again) my beloved LXP 1´s looong hall. I love that on some mixes.
Thanks for the thumbs up

This is actually a small test and you are hereby invited to participate :-)
I made 2 versions of this mix, one with the effect i want to ask whether you like or not, the other without. The effect made my master 1 dB louder, so for comparison I turned the master on the untreated one 1Db up when mastering, so its not loudness we compare.
I made another version implyin your suggestions, turned the guitar down 0,3 dB overall, 0,6 dB more in verses and vocal a tad up. Bass got the 2 dB treatment and I added a bit more distortion and thus an extra half dB, so maybe 0,5 dB turned down in all. vox also got more distortion, with a filter so it peaks around 3kilo.
This is version 1

For me the bass is still to much and throwing the balance off in some way.your making it do all the work
I also think in the 2nd verse the synth sounds real nice but the guitars are
taking its glory away too much.
I also think the oh are a bit messy sounding in the chorus making it sound a bit
too full on.I just think you are on the right track it just needs a bit more control
over all and more space
!
