The Black Crown - Cage (Spandex mix)
#1
SO in a crazy world i have the benefit of having a little more time on my hand due to short time at work

if you have any ideas here i'd be happy with that
any other critique would also be greatly appreciated, the good the bad and the ugly

Hi. I do like mix 2, including the vocals although I do think the mix as a whole could be a bit more aggressive, compression-wise. The only main things that kinda irks me while listening are

- the kick being a bit too plasticky in the 3-5khHz, and quite loud especially compared to snare which sounds relatively weak (even compared to mix 1)
- the lead guitar at the buildup part before the last chorus being a bit behind time(?). Not sure if it was intentional or not but just wanna point out that it threw me off quite a bit.
- this is up to taste but I recommend you try adding some growl to the bass. Works particularly well in this track.
- in the bridge, the low vocal is a bit low end heavy and loud, and the chugging guitars are also very loud.

Please check out my mix too!

Cheers
