Hey guys,

Here's my mix for this nice song.
Just wanted to preserve everything in the tracks, no drum replacement or anything else
Also didn't want to quantize the groove, I like the lumbering (if this word can be used in music), thought it's adding a nice move to the song, although there were some moments the rhythm was way to off 

Any comments are welcomed.

Thanks for the tracks

Edit (v2 R01) 15.02.2024
- New mix from scratch. Turned out a bit louder, and I hope a bit better too

Let me know

Cheers

Felt like the guitars need to be more up-front, and changed a bit the effect on voice to be more coherent and forward a bit
Hope this is better

Cheers

I like the second revision WAY more than the first. The vocals are all a bit sibilant, and lacking in much body. But the drums and guitars and bass all play nice with each other. Adding some body back into the vocals, and cutting a bunch of that harshness whenever there's an S noise early on (it seems to go away more later on) will make this a really solid U2-in-the-90s sounding mix, but angrier!

Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Yeap, the vocal should use more body and sure a de-esser. I think this is because I've used too much "heat" on the vocal, and also cutting the lows, to achieve the spokesmen effect, and this is bringing the harshness up-front
