Ok. I tried to take the advice received here and elsewhere into account. 3rd (04.08) mix added below and to the OP. Lots of changes, but essentially I EQ'd the bass to be less buzz and more bass. I also panned the synths and guitars much wider and raised their levels. If anyone gets a chance...

Chili!!! Good to see you man. Although I'm still using the same gear as before, I'm in a relatively new space, so it sounds like I may have some translation issues. If anything, I'm hearing it as too bright...I started revisiting the mix last night with a goal of using EQ and panning to open it...

Agreed. It's been a while since I've heard a VHS track, but imo this is one of the better ones. Well done!

Queepy! I knew I knew a stratmonkee, but couldn't recall from where. Thanks for clearing that up! I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I'm still getting some feedback that the buzz bass is taking up too much space in this mix, but I'm not sure I agree. Any lower and it would cease to be any kind of...

Hey strat! I used to listen to these guys a ton, so I'm pretty familiar with both the live and studio version of this. While I normally loathe chorus on guitars, this was the one band where it made sense to me. I think you captured the essence of the guitar parts very well, even the warbling...

Holy crunchy, bizarro-panned goodness! Love it. Listened several times and kept sounding better. I didn’t really pay close attention to the vocal level...I guess it was fine, but the tone and the heaviness and the spatial quality of this mix were winners.

DM60 and reinmj - thanks so much for listening and letting me know about the bass. I have gone back and lowered it by several decibels and added the new mix below and to the OP. Although not substantially different, I do think it opens things up a bit. Hopefully better anyway. Thanks again...

Howdy folks...been a while! Good to see at least a few familiar names still posting here. I've been slowly getting back into recording over the last year in a new space. Here's something I wrapped up last week, and I am curious how it sounds on other systems. Sounds more or less as I wanted it...

Your mix is very nice. I approve. No help here ( sorry) - just wanted to say how much I enjoyed it

Not a fan of the style, but the performances are solid. Mixwise, I think the guitars sound good. My only concerns would be taming the cymbals a bit and dropping the lead vocal back into the same space as the band. Right now, they sound too dry and loud by comparison. Not by a lot, but...

Nope. You are correct. The acoustics in the intro sound fine as is. Not really off time with each other, just playing different parts. If they're on time with the beat and in the right key, pretty much anything goes, and that wasn't much of a stretch there. Vocals were the star here and...

This is frankly surreal. The mix is kind of irrelevant here. What you've got is a repetitive canned sounding beat and two seemingly unrelated keyboard tracks. Almost as if you were fiddling around on the keys over a beat, recorded it, then did the same thing again and recorded that. I don't...

Sorry about the loss of you friend jimi. I think you're making good progress, and you've got a reasonably good drum sound. This track was pretty ambitious, but you tackled it and pulled it off. I'm sure if you chose simpler material you could lay down smoother drum tracks, but then where's the...

Yeah, this sounds very polished indeed. If there are issues, it is beyond my reach to identify them. You seem to have this shit pretty well sorted out, so keep it up.

Sounds great to me. Love the drums on this, both the playing and the way they're mixed. Cymbals sound nice. The mix has great clarity and openness. I didn't notice the volume being terribly low, but then I've grown accustomed to having to adjust up and down all the time in the clinic. I...

lol - Well, I'm gonna tell you anyway...so there! Don't know the tune, but I think it sounds great overall. Vocals are nice, as are the guitars. I really wasn't hearing any issues mix-wise, but then I'm pretty out of practice in terms of critical listening. I guess maybe the bass tone seemed a...

Hey - the guitars and vocals on this are really nice. There is a great genuine quality to your voice and guitar work for stuff like this. Timing on the drums was a distraction for me. It's cool that you're doing it all yourself though. I liked what you did with the guitars during the outro...

I like the cheesy drums for this track. They fit really well actually. Not so much my kind of thing taste-wise (I miss your more aggressive sounding stuff), but this is performed and mixed well to my ears. Always enjoy your tracks, and even though this may not be my favorite sort of style...

Hey MMM - sorry to hear about your ID woes. Good luck with all of that. I like the tune and this mix quite a lot actually. It has a little more bite and aggression to it than some of your other mixes. Guitars are panned well, and you've got fun lyrics with your recognizable melodies and...

lol - totally reminds me of rolling down the streets of Los Santos playing GTA V. Nice mix - bigly! No issues here. Not so into the tone of the drums, but they fit this, and it's probably a tone you wanted. I absolutely love the part that appears @ 1:27 and again @ 3:16! I suspect that's the...
