I thought I'd put this out there to get some thoughts.
Some background;
The beds were tracked to 2" Australian made Optro 16 track. Vocals are straight into Pro Tools HD, guitar solo is the Guitar Rig plugin.
I hired an ARIA (Aussie equivalent to the Grammys) winning engineer to mix the new album, and he convinced me that he could master it a lot better than most of the top name mastering engineers in Australia.
At the start of the year I had enough of trying to convince myself that it sounded any good, and decided to remix the whole thing myself.
So below are two links to the same song, one is his mix, and one is mine. To make it interesting I'm not going to tell you which is which. Please tell me which one, to your ears, sounds better.
All comments are truly welcome as I value the opinions of a lot of people on these boards.
Enjoy!!
