We Fell From the Sky - 1st pass

[Jmaltby]

Hey everyone.

I'm a bit new to mixing - this is maybe the 5th song i've attempted to mix.
I found this a bit tricky for sure - but I think I got it somewhere.
I'd love any and all feedback, notes, criticism.

Thanks in advance for listening!
I'm really trying to learn - I look forward to hearing what you think.

Best,
J

This song in general is really bass anemic. I really had to grapple with getting the low end to work at all with this song. A few points, your cymbals are a little bright for my taste, and your kick is lacking low end. There was a sudden volume drop at 1:15 with the guitar fx track. Try blending that transition a little bit? I generally like your levels, aside from the bass and the guitar fx track. Good swing, just make sure you are referencing music similar to the genre as you mix, so you can catch some things that might not jump out immediately as you get sucked down the mixing hole.

Cheers!
