I could say my opinion is validated to some degree if it coincides to a unanimous opinion. Doesn't validate it 100% and never will but it validates it nonetheless. I didn't take anything you said personally. All I said was that in this case, this album is different AND better because you said...

No need to bring homophobia into the realm of critiquing music. Richard Swift does a great job producing Foxygen's album. He's a great producer. They've received universal critical acclaim.

It's different and it's better. The album received universal critical acclaim, being named album of the year by many. I have posted my stuff. You can look at my post history if you wish.

Never trust the guy that calls himself an engineer but charges $5. Who on earth would charge $5? He might as well do it for free at that point.

I think your songwriting and your voice is great. But you should put more emphasis on the production. Your great songwriting will shine through so you shouldn't be shy to let the instruments take over the song at times. Here's a song that sounds like something you would possibly go for, but note...

Honestly, that's why I posted this. Every recording I see on this forum sounds the same, or is going for the same sound. Everyone seems obsessed with getting a perfect, hifi mix that sounds like it came from a big budget studio. I feel the way that people approach recording here is very...

Lol I was never claiming it as my own. I'm just curious as to what people think about the unique style of mixing. I want to hear people's thoughts regarding the overall production of it. I wouldn't even go as far to say this is "professionally tracked". It was recorded in a bedroom with no...

Just wondering what you guys would criticize about this mix

Like the above comment, you should listen with your ears not your eyes. If something sounds good to you, and every engineer disagrees, who cares? It's your work and your recording. Becoming a better engineer is all about trial and error.

Am I the only one hearing timing issues in this song? The drums are off at points. You should look into that.

This is probably the best track I've listened to on this forum. I get a Beatles-y vibe from your songs. If you really wanted to perfect your songs/sound, I would try to make your songs sound even more vintage, and less polished as they do. That's just something I would personally do. For love...

I enjoy post-rock and shoegaze so this is right up my street. I noticed on track 2, a little after the drums come in, there is some timing issues between the kit and the guitar riff. I actually really like the drumming on these songs. Good beats. But the overall mixing of them sounds a tad bit...

I suggest turning up the guitar in the right channel. It needs to be a way more audible. The drums are digital right? They seem a bit robotic but you can't really do much about that if they are digital. I mean you could try mixing them a bit better I suppose. I would at least turn up the whole...

I think if you want the guitar to carry the song, you should get a better tone from the guitar. The guitar seems really thin and while it can be partially alleviated by EQing, I think the base tone itself is lacking a bit. I would focus on fixing the guitar tone. It needs a bigger sounding...

Few things to note 1) The bass guitar seems to be only occupying the really low bass frequencies. Try boosting around 300-1000 to see if you can get more of the attack of the bass guitar. 2) The drums are a bit lifeless. Try more compression and EQ a bit more. Raise the volume a bit. I think...

I'm suspecting some sort of weird filter on the master channel.

I think it's pretty well mixed. Nothing that I can point out honestly. Great job.

What kind of mic are you using? Also, I think the fact that you're using a distortion plugin has something to do with the fact that there's no bass on the song. Are you able to use distortion on your amp at all? I think that would be a better idea.

I think we're missing the most important question for the OP. How did you even record this song? Even if I recorded guitars, used midi drums, and omitted a bass, without mixing at all, it shouldn't sound like this. What are you using to record? Mic or direct input? What program are you using to...
