Hi Cudjoe

Thanks for mixing our song - I recognize your username, so I know I have listened to your work before Smile

- really nice atmosphere kicking off the song. Minor point - the 'f' in "further now" pokes out a bit - my recording fault - that consonant needs automated down a little or transient attack reduction or your other weapon of choice
- drums sound good - kick maybe a bit high in level vs. snare, or I am looking for a bit more snare body - 200 Hz ish
- lead vocal needs a tiny bit of 3-5kHz reduction - multiband or dynamic eq etc
- nice delays on the lead vocal
- opportunity for more chorus width? Pressing the mono button, I am not hearing as much separation as I might be achieve
- creative middle section !
- subjective comment - not sure the dropped drums worked for me - I appreciated the attempt to add arrangement interest though
- some of the bass guitar fills are getting buried. It might be worth have a parallel distortion bass track you can fade up for the fills, or adjust your eq etc etc. Could use a bit more low frequencies on your bass too.

Thanks again for sharing Cudjoe - thanks for mixing and sharing our track. Best regards,

Thomas
