Thanks, great feedback! I will definitely listen for those and tweak if I hear the same. Which guitar part on the left do you mean...verse, chorus, outro, or overall?
Really great sound and style and catchy songs too! The mix is good too, the only thing I could say is that it is a bit bright overall and seems to be missing some lower end, especially in the drums.
So I've been mixing these tracks for years it seems like and finally to a point where I am content with how they sound. I will be releasing an album later this year, so need all the feedback I can get before I set them in stone. Any critiques welcome!
1st Track:
Love this song! And overall it's a nice rendition of this song. Not too different from the original, but has your signature style.
I would add some more compression to the vocals so the quieter parts can be heard, and add some to the bass as well. Then I would add more overall compression...
So here's a new mix. I took out some frequencies that were too high and used some dynamic compression, and fixed up a whole number of other things. The only things I didn't do as suggested were to pan the acoustic, since I like how the mix sounds later in the song with the acoustic centered and...
Sounds professional for sure! I would just brighten up the guitars with a high shelf and maybe remove a bit of muddiness in the drums/bass in the low mids. Other than that just about perfect mix!
I think the vocals sound great, but I think the chords behind it clash with the melody. Try using the chord progression B, F#, G#m, E (1, 5, 6, 4 progression).
Put a high pass filter on the bass and kick. Too much low end, and too loud. The guitar tone seemed too thin. Did you cut a bunch of low frequencies? Also as was said before, hard pan the guitars both far left and far right and bring up in the mix. You'll want to separate the EQ on each, maybe...
Thanks for the feedback! I agree with all that you said now that I hear it. It's getting to the point where it's hard to listen to the song and critique it myself since I have heard it 100,000 times now.
I'm putting out an 8 song album and would like some feedback on one of my mixes. How's the overall sound? Anything obvious popping out at you that needs correction? Thoughts on the song itself? Thanks for listening!

Thanks! Probably just as you were writing this I was uploading a mix 22 in place of 21 which reduced the bass a bit, because I only noticed it when playing through my less expensive speakers with a sub. So the link to the 2nd one has changed.
So after many attempts to improve on the mix, keeping everything in mind from all your suggestions, I was having trouble getting a good sound again. So I basically started over with mixing, and EQ, and compression (1st link). I don't know if I liked the result as much so then went back to the...
Thanks guys for the feedback. All great suggestions. I'm working on a new mix with all this in mind and will upload it at some point. The reason it seems so compressed is because it was the only way to get an overall "loud" volume, but I can play around with that and see if I can boost the...
