AAA hows this mix?

[musical5]

I posted a quick mix of this and didnt get much feedback or critiques. Maybe it sucked that bad. This is a streamable link. Hows it sound?

Thanks

The mix sounds very good. It's clear, and I can hear each element distinctly.

I think the drums are maybe a bit too hot, and I don't much like the snare sound. The cymbals are a bit "fizzy" too. Could just be my taste, though.

I might put one of the guitars at 1:03 on the right - just to give a better balance across the stereo field.

Maybe a touch more reverb on the vocals? Good performance.

And soften the distorted guitars slightly too? Or again a wee bit of reverb?

The hard-strummed acoustic around 3:00 is a bit brittle sounding - maybe just played too hard? Whack some more compresion on it.

Hope this helps. I'm a rank amateur so any or all of the above could be wrong.

Cheers

Well man, that's a download link, not a stream...anyway. I'm at work on computer speakers so...take with a grain of salt.

Sounds pretty good man, fairly clear and all. Sometimes though, the snare hit is almost lost when the distorted guitar kicks in. The ride/hi-hat is a little bright in the mix for me. But really overall, I think it's pretty good. Oh yeah, some of the mid/upper bass lines tend to fade away a little into the mix too. But I think all of that stuff could be just a preference thing. Good job though man!

Richhead,

Thanks for the feedback. What I meant is my server allowes you to stream if you copy the link to your mp3 player.


Thanks,
Justin
