I found this track by accident last week and i just had to do a mix, this is one of those songs that grows on you, bigtime.

I did see fab mixing this on youtube a while ago so some of his tips might have made it into my mix Smile

I'm unsure how to add the file and player so i'll just add a link to box, it should play fine from there.

Cheers

Edit:
Worked out how to attach the file / player, maybe easier for people to listen and hopefully leave feedback. Big Grin

its the same file as in the box link, no changes to the mix.

Cheers again.

A lot of this mix feels very natural to me, so props to your balancing skills there. Maybe the guitar feels a bit too far up front, so some additional ambience verb on that might not be a bad idea. The violin seems a bit low on its solo too, so I'd ride the fader there.

Overall, I though your mix maybe had a bit too much 200-300Hz in it, as well as a deficiency in the upper octaves -- nothing that a master-buss EQ couldn't remedy, though. However, there is one note in the bass where its fundamental really leaps out incongrouously, so I'd do something about that -- it's at 72Hz, and there's an example at 1:35, for instance.

Mike, thankyou so much for taking the time to post your thoughts on my mix, i really appreciate it.
I will review this mix at sometime and address the areas you outlined, but it won't be straight away, house renovations Smile.

Cheers
