Hello there,
First Post, first public mix.
Just finished a short course about mixing, and here's my result. I've been comparing it with few other, and I have realised that my levels are a bit low although I'm hitting the yellow zone on my master fader.
Your thoughts and comments are the most welcomed,
Thanks a lot,
Having a quick listen to your first mix and pretty good job
The lead vocal and reverb sounds a little upfront on my monitors . Maybe try a little less compression ,especially on the drums !

Thanks Don for your feedback, no pun intended
I had a fresh listen to the mix this morning and realized that there was indeed too much reverb on the vocals and backing vocals.
For the compression, I'm still struggling with it. I need a beefy kick drum with a really impressive snare. I'll take your comments into consideration.
Much appreciated!
Well here's another version of the mix. Less reverb and way less compression.
I guess I will be moving to other songs so I would experiment a bit with some other takes and then come back to it, if I see it needs more work.
I don't know if I should mention that I'm not doing any mastering.

Hi Ed, I like how your lead vocal isn't really thin and bright. It's only my opinion but it's the main thing I don't like about a lot of the other mixes of this.
Regarding kick and snare sounds and compression, those are the things I liked about the mix I did, if you want to listen to what I did with it.
