Hat STYLE. Not contents.
Seems a solid mix.
The vocals actually seemed a bit more clear and out-front I'd expect from this kind of music, actually.

This might help-
Whoa - thanks. Those seem really close together...and it doesn't look like they're both pointed at the center of the snare?
I need to play around with that more. I have one directly above the snare pointed at the center and another way off to my right just above the floor tom also pointed at center of snare. I do this because I read it somewhere...no other reason.
Are those Sabian cymbals?Hey, greg said the vocals were too "thick" too - maybe I was on to something

Also - as a fellow guy who sits on an office chair while drumming, I don't feel so all alone anymore...

I remember reading you use a CAD pack, are your OHs from that or something different?
Hey thanks for checking it out man- yeah I thought that too, I'll probably add a little air when I do the final tweaks. Looking forward to checking out your tune.
Cool, thanks a lot slick! Hope you had a great holiday!

Cool, thanks VHS. When I mixed it, I was psyched to push em out there a little more but now I'm not sure I'm comfortable with the clarity I gave myself.

Yeah, they're both pointed straight down at the kit, but the capsules are still equidistant from the snare. I gave up on having that right mic pointing at the snare because it wasn't getting the cymbals and that side of the kit the way I wanted. Yeah the ride's a 24" Sabian, the rest are Paistes.
There will definitely be some vocal tweaks before I put this one down...

Cool, thanks a lot for checking it out!
Part of what I enjoy about these boards is the musical diversity of ideas encountered. This is a perfect illustration of that. The only thing I didn't like was the sound of the snare. Other than that, it was absolutely terrific ... and I thoroughly enjoyed the composition and arrangement.

Wow, thanks a lot for listening to it and for the kind words!
I pulled the vocals back a little anyways....not sure if I should have or if it's even noticeable. At this point I probably have to stand off it for a couple weeks but thanks again! Thanks queepy- I had to look up Jade Warrior...was surprised I'd never heard of them. I love a lot of stuff from that era. Seems like it might be up my alley...definitely gonna check it out!
Hey thanks a lot Kev! It's really awesome to hear the kind words about this one. Definitely makes me feel better about devoting most of my life to an arguably fruitless hobby...
I posted a new mix at the original link...pulled the vocals back a little, gave a little boost to the highs on the master mix, and did a couple other small tweaks. Now listening upstairs I'm not sure if my changes are that noticeable. I might just put it down for a couple weeks if there's nothing ridiculously wrong with it. Thanks so much for the comments everyone!!
Put it down for a couple weeks. You did great ... and when you go back? You will hear differently.
We all devote ourselves to what drives us.
There is economic profitless hobby (see: all us), but there is no fruitless hobby. If it salves a mind, it's all good. There is even non-monetary profit in that.

Hey, thanks alot for checking it out and the kind words fuzz!
Huh, I guess I can see what rayc was talking about....I don't mind the comparison at all - I kinda like how his voice sits in the mix. He might be better at it though...
