I listening to it the only way I can at the moment (since I'm at work, and it's the last day of the quarter, so I'm waiting for accounting close) -- real quiet on laptop speakers.
Not the best way to listen, but actually a good way to listen in order to answer your question. I can hear the vocals fine, and they don't seem too loud. The drums are maybe a little low, or, more specifically, the snare gets buried sometimes. I can barely hear the cymbals.
I can't comment on the low frequency stuff
Well done, and cool song!
Thanx Phil. I'll turn down the shaker a bit. But I don't want to wet it. That part has enough reverbed and phase-y stuff happening. I wanted the cabasa to sound like a rattlesnake sitting right on someone's speakers, so I chose to go dry. I'll wet the drums a little more, too.
Cool. That's a relief. Not as bas as I thought. I really thought there was a possibility that the mix was really all over the place.Awesome man. Your last two songs have kicked ass. Love the intro!
Drums can be a little louder overall. Kick especially. Check the setup/phase on your OH's. Seems like the snare is leaning left. I don't usually hear that in your stuff.
Vocal level seems good to me. I can make out all the lyrics no problem. If you bring the drums up, bring more bass in too. Guitars sound awesome. Another kick ass tune man. good job.

Hey Heat!Hey RAMI...well, the performance is tight as hell that's for sure...guess that isn't news to anyone at this point though.
The kind of potential level issues you're concerned with are so slight compared to what one would normally be dealing with, but yes, I did in fact feel that the vocals were a bit too loud and the drums could come up a bit.
I am listening on windows media player on a laptop though, so not the best reference by far.
I then read the prior comments and others seem in agreement that vox levels are fine, so uh, I guess, uh...nevermind
Exellent work thus far...any further refinements would be welcome, but this sounds more or less complete as is...very well done.
Really? I'm truly surprised. I didn't know what to expect from this tune. Thanx!
Thanx Jeff. Still working on getting the right guitar sound for the right song. It's my weakest area right now, I think.
Everything is as tight a can be-great stuff. Something slightly odd in the intro-it all syncs together though-I can't quite put my finger on it.
There is a very 'Alice Cooper band' similarity in it to me-maybe if that band had survived into the new millenium-anyway, you have another winner here!
Thanx a lot CIRO. I just did another mix with a few changes. One of them was bringing the bass and kik up.Amazing new tune
Vox level is good to me, just take a look , snare (or OH?)is more to the left channel.
Excellent arrangement, guitars tone ...you know.
Bass guitar and even BD could up a bit with no problem - altough sounds ok this way too.
Ciro
Thanx a lot Chili. I don't have anything on the toms but lots of reverb and compression. But maybe too much compression. I'll check it out. Thanx a lot man.Love it. I like the vox where they sit. Lyrics are great too. Sounds like you spent some time on them.
I know I should never tell you how to mix drums.... but I'm not crazy about the toms in the wet parts; 3:00 and 4:00. Is there a flanger on them?? I think whatever you're doing makes them sound a little thin. Not getting a nice full tone... I don't know what I'm talking about, so take it with a grain of salt.
Anyways, great tune. Once again proving you're more professional than anything on the radio.
