Hi!

Not bad at all, a pretty clean mix! This is a difficult one I think.

I’m listening on headphones. I feel I am probably also still too close to my mix of this track, which I fear is influencing my comments a bit too much. Still, a few minor thoughts and ideas as I listen -

Maybe a delay or something on the intro vocal to differentiate it a bit from the verse?

Intro drum loop - I feel it needs to be panned about a bit or something maybe in your mix - I think it feels a little bit static and therefore a touch loud in the mix as it is perhaps?

1:35 - really liking the delays on the backing fx vocals, sounding really very nice there.

- You’ve got a really enjoyable blend of the backing vocals with the lead throughout the mix.

Synth at 2:35 and 2:50,2:57 could come up a bit to match the vocal level to poke out a bit maybe?

I’m on headphones but I feel the kick could maybe have just a touch more low end / impact, not sure?

I like the focus on the synth in the intro and the verse, etc. I pretty much buried it I think in favour of the guitars, turns out it’s a pretty nice part!

Nice work!

Cheers!

Hi mikej! Many thanks for the comments. 

I do agree on the intro loop I did not find a good solution. I also agree on the synth at 2:35. 

I need to listen to the mix in my car to verify the low-end so I'l do a new mix later on. 

Cheers!

You have managed to get some nice clarity in this mix and a nice bottom end .
Good work
