The Doppler Shift - Atrophy

[filipandrei]

Hey guys,

Gave this song a spin.
This reminded me of Dove, in the verse part mostly
I've tried some automation on the drums in the chorus part, just to lift it a bit
Nice song to mix, thanks a lot for the multitracks

Let me know what you think

Cheers

Two years after, decided to give this lovely song a one more spin
Hope it turned out better

Hi filipandrei, really nice improvement on your original mix (which was quite nice as well)... Especially noticeable with the drums -t he snare sounds great! Also much better dynamic contrast between the verse and chorus too.

A few things that might help:
- The bass is maybe just a tad too loud overall - not bad, but it could come down a touch to clear the mix up overall.
- The vocals have a little bit of low mid cloudiness in them and could perhaps use a little bet of a slight high midrange push.
- The kick drum is lacking a bit of definition. It's not too bad in the verses (the snare is perhaps a bit loud in the verses, though). But when the choruses come in, the kick drum is getting pretty lost. Maybe a little more level on the kick in the chorus, and perhaps just a tiny bit of a high mid boost on the kick to get the transient to poke through a little more.

Overall, very nice!

Hi FytaKyte,

Thanks a lot for listening and for your thorough feedback
Every little point you made is spot on
- bass might come a bit lower
- snare too loud
- kick it's not too well defined, lost in the mix
- vocal might need a bit more air or just get rid of some low-mid frequencies

Cheers
