Hi

First of all that was nice fun to mix this track, it took me 2 days to finish.
2 weeks later I returned to the project to have an objective look at my work, I think it turned out pretty well.
I would like to emphasize that I am enemy of the "loudness war" and if someone wants to listen music loud, just turn the volume knob clockwise instead to crush music with a limiter   

Just my 2 cents
The mix was done in the DAW (protools) using various plugins.
If you like to listen my mix, I'm very happy   
If you have some questions, feel free to ask

Hi!

I checked out your mix. Not bad!

Good balance in the main. I think it might be a bit on the dark sounding side for my taste though perhaps?

Could be the reverb needs to be filtered a bit with highpass - although I think it's more likely to be the bass here. I think the bass might be either a bit loud in the mix, or it could need taming a bit below around 250Hz or so with a low shelf/small cut or something? I feel it might be clouding the mix quite a bit. Try listening to the clarity of the mids whilst toggling the bass channel off and on, and see what difference it makes and go from there. I think it's something worth trying anyway.

You might be able to add bit more top end to the vocal and the acoustic guitar, etc for example, but I would try investigating the bass first before making any other changes.

Just my thoughts though - what do you think?

Cheers!

Yes, you are right. The bass is boomy, I dint check on earpods and my room is not perfect
The bass is boomy as hell and is clouding the mix 
I need to fix that.

Thanks for noticing

It's a difficult thing to spot initially I think. Looking forward to hearing what difference it makes. Good luck!

Cheers!

Hi!

Much better - sounding pretty good. Great balance. I think you still might be able to take a db or two out of the bass around 150-170 ish perhaps though?

Not sure if it's just a touch 'roomy'? Difficult for me to comment as I think my mix was quite dry, so might be a matter of taste. I feel maybe the reverb could be dialled back just a bit?

I think it might be the acoustic in the intro that's giving me that impression - it sounds a bit too far back in the mix perhaps at that point, and maybe needs to come up a touch? And maybe the reverb on the lead there too - not sure.

Just my thoughts. I enjoyed listening to the mix overall.

Cheers!
