a very dense Queen style track.

I'm glad this resurfaced. Very well done...I could actually use more vocal, but I know you're done, and I also know that my midrange hearing is shot.
 
Cool thanks guys! I should also point out that it was mixed on a pair of Sennheiser headphones.. which is a pretty big no-no amirite?
I was thinking of buying some decent monitors in the near future, along with some decent pre-amps.
 
great tune sir.

But i have to ask...what is the focus of the mix at any given moment? ( more of a rhetorical question)

When I am mixing, I like to look at each musical phrase and ask that question. What's the focus. What element did the arranger/ writer (or I) intend to use, primarily, to project the message.

Thinking about these things phrase by phrase or bar by bar may help you improve the mix.

Cheers!

I use my Senn's all the time for mixing (HD280's and HD600's) I like to mix with them. Dont get me wrong, I listen to a mix on alot of stuff before I render it. But many people say thats a bad thing to do because of bass issues and stereo spread issues. I dont have a problem with it. Plus you can hear more stuff going on with them. I just love my 600's. They are so comfortable and great sounding. My 280's I use for tracking and some mixing.
 
Jesus H Christ!
This is simply fantastic...yeah, the Queen influence is omnipresent, is that you singing or did Freddie rise from the dead??????
Simply amazing! Well done! :rolleyes::cool::D:)

Joe :):):):):):)
 
I bought the EP - or is it just the one song?

Anyway, nice work! I'm in the 'raise the vocals some on your next mix' camp. How much time do you spend on a song, generally?
 
Loved this the 1st time I heard it.."Toehider" is just a incredible song...sounds like a outtake from QueenII's side black:D
This is one I will buy!
 
You're Not the Girl You Said You Were....
I agree with the previous posters in several things...
- excellent prog rock writing and performance
- excellent vocals
- vocals are wee bit low for me
- the lead is also a bit buried for me in chorus

The Moon was a Kite
- outstanding
- no mix issues for me

Some great material here - congrats on completing your EP :D:cool::D:cool:

Hey man cheers! yep, it's the whole EP.

Usually I'd spend around 2-3 days per song... not counting the actual writing of the song.. but it depends.. the title track took a little longer to record I'd say.
 
Obviously a great mix and a great sound. I particularly liked the opening verse. I also heard shades of Panic at the disco in that track.
