Hope I got this right, as the bass was tricky
Let me know...

Hi Filip! Great mix, the bass region is very punchy and well balanced. Could you please tell me the approach you used to handle the kick/808 balance? The drums in general are very tight and groovy. I also like the Vocal Fx a lot. One thing that stands out to me, being Italian myself like the artist, is the vocals being warmer on the upper register and not so much upfront. That is perfectly fine to me and to the rest of the world probably, but is veeeery different to the sound that Italian pop acts look for their vocals nowadays, which is always in your face and very bright, so it kinda shocked my a bit at first but I ultimately really liked it! It would be nice if more Italian artists and engineers went for this kind of approach in my opinion.
Anyway, great mix! I also just uploaded mine, so I would love to receive your feedback on that.

Cheers

Hey leon_hardy,

Thanks a lot, I'm really happy you like it
I'll have a look at my session and let you know exactly what I've done to handle the 808/kick balance.

For sure I'll listen to your mix

Cheers
