Hi,
I really liked this song, so I thought I'd try mixing it.
Thanks for listening! Wink

Hi Dowel,

Well done! I like what you did to the snare sound, the delay on the main vox is also a nice touch, maybe set the delay to a bit more rhythmic time to keep the drive in the song. I also like the guitar sound for the Chorus, but It feels a bit too aggressive for the choruses, maybe automating the midrange band?

That slap delay on the vox really makes for a nice ending.
Good work!

Hi therabbitt,

thank you for your comments and nice words! I was surprised how precisely you pointed on things. (especially the slap delay which is at -16dB. Smile Ok, at the very end of the songs it pops out quite well...  Smile ) 

I think you meant to write, that guitar is agressive for the Verse parts... as I listen it now, it really feels to be a bit scratchy...

Regards,
Dowel
