Hi!

My mix.

Cheers!

Messy notes. Just woke up.

Sounds good. My main issue is the upper mids. When I play the mix at a quiet level it all feels fine but when I turn it up the 2-5k range feels a bit harsh. And once I get my Honda back from the cops I will be cranking it. Also, playing the mix loudly. It's mostly the 'ride' and snare and percussion. And if those elements are tamed a bit it'll probably make the kick and bass feel bigger. Which, as the moment they sound good but I think it couldn't hurt for them to be more of the focus in a song like this. The kick/bass relationship feels good. I hope they get married someday.
Instead of 'relationship' I should have said 'balance' but the word escaped me at the time. It's back now but I'm not going to give it the satisfaction of going back and using it.

I like the vocal effects. The second verse feels like it comes down a bit. It's hard to have a big chorus while also having the lead vocal up front. Maybe less Lead Voc DT 1? At least in the first verse.

Um. I think that's is. Oh wait, the cymbal-y sample is a bit loud and a bit distracting.

Good job.

Hi!

Thanks for checking it out!

I dunno, some of those top end elements (like that cymbal-y thing) don't bother me too much right now, but I did note from your mix that knocking those back a bit does kind of help some. I do like that ride/909ish hat sample. I might try cranking it a bit later and see if the top end does take my head off though!

I did start off with the idea of keeping the bass up there, but maybe I lost the way a bit. I found the kick kind of a bit of a struggle due to how it is - it's more kind of vibey than punchy as such.

I wasn't really thinking that much about the chorus as I feel the backing vocals kind of fill that out - more about the difference between the intro and the first verse. I did knock the DT track down a bit from where I had it, so maybe I can duck it a bit more. At one point I did think about whether to get rid of it entirely or not.

Cheers!

Hi!

Thanks for checking it out! Yes - I think I could maybe take a touch more top end or something off some of the drum elements.

Cheers!
