"Shaman Song" -- 1st trial mix

The song is cool!
The piano and Bass are overlapping the vocals and drums,I would make the drums a bit bigger and punchier, maybe replace the kick drum samples, take down the piano a bit and open up vocals
 
I agree that the song is cool!

Mix seems good to me. I can hear everything clearly. Kick seems a little strong compared with the rest of the kit. Piano might move forward with less verb if you want it to. Sometimes it disappears.

Minor adjustments for sure though. Really sounds good.

thanks raz......

i've tried some other kit choices,
but ended up liking this one the best of what i had....
but i could try some parallel compression, with some gating maybe,
and see if that tweaks the drums.
'bigger', is definitely different than 'punchy'

some other reviewers have said that there was too much top and bottom...
and some have said the kick was too clicky.....

but punchy drums, on an atmospheric ballad, does not seem like the appropriate thing, eh?

appreciate the review, retro.....
i think you are right about the piano,
tho i mix it down on purpose, in certain spots, to feature other elements,
i think it probably ought to be solid up front most of the time.....

i'll experiment with that placement more....
and maybe roll off some of the low end of the kick, that might sit better.
