Hi Dave
Thanks for your kind words about the song - having a listen through now - just listened to your living lie mix a short while ago, so hello again
- your drum balance sounds great
- the verse "interest" guitar feels a bit high in the balance - and I realize the irony given that I am the guitar player
- lead vocal is sounding good. Subjective comment would be I would like to hear a little more reverb/delay/other atmosphere on it
- liking your verse 2 approach a lot - same comment re: verse guitar
- I really like your feature of the tremolo guitar in the chorus parts. This "riff" was the origin of the song. Insider fact
- Chorus 2 - possible the BV parts got shifted in time a bit? Or the reverb return is what we are hearing a bit delayed? Feels a bit out of sync.
- bass guitar - could perhaps use a little more low end. Perhaps a reference check vs. the reference mix.
- yeah, BV parts are shifted or time delayed somehow - interferes with the flow/timing
- like the dropout from chorus 3 into the outro - nice
- the cymbal wash parts - maybe a bit prominent - consider dialing back the level a touch
Really nice mix Dave - like the vision for it a lot. I hope some of these comments help. Also note the March 2015 Sound on Sound mix rescue article was on this track and gives lots of useful mix insights if you hadn't found it already. Now freely available online.
Hope these observations help !
Cheers
Thomas
