I have attached my newest mix of a song. To me, it sounds heavier and less smooth than what I hear on the radio in terms of production quality. Do you agree? If so, any suggestions on how to improve it? Any feedback is appreciated.

Appreciate it! I don't get many opportunities to try out other equipment, but am always trying different distances and heights for the mic.

Thanks for the response. I am using the JZ Black Hole 2 with the Apollo Twin. That phasey and gritty distorted sound is what I am referring to as comb filtering, so perhaps I am just using the wrong term. As for the level, I will try to experiment some more, but I have been trying to keep it...

I have attached a link to my vocal without effects, with effects, and in the mix. I think the original take without effects sounds slightly naturally distorted and possibly has some comb filtering. Is this why I am not able to get my vocals to sound clean like professionally recorded ones? Or do...

I like the groove. Around 40 seconds there are some chops in the vocals that sound a bit akward. The vocals also cause some clipping (such as around 1:20). I think overall the vocals could actually come down a db or 2.

I think you have a really nice mix going here. I only have a couple of things: -To my ears the cymbals sound just a tiny bit too loud -a couple of the notes around 4:15 sound a bit jarring

I like the song overall and the vocals sound great! I personally love when a song is able to include a diversity textures throughout the song. However, I think the transitions between clean and distorted guitars are a bit abrupt. Perhaps you could use some kind of a swell or fade in to smooth...

This mix sounds really great! I don't think the drums are too quiet but to my ears too much of the high end taken out of the drums. I would maybe try rolling off a little more of the bass below 50-60hz, but I don't think it is too loud overall.

Cool song! I think the instruments sound really well mixed overall. I personally like the drums the way they are, though the snare could perhaps come down a little loud. I do agree with chuckduffy's comment that the verb/delay creates some muddiness. I have found multiband compression to...
