Nice mix. I like how the vocals come through. Cool thing with the drums at the beginning. Track edits were interesting.

If I may ask, which accent do your hear? The OP is from my neck of the woods and down here, we don't have accents.
Oh wow, first off, thanks. I've come a good way since this - learned and just began using bus compression on vocals and compression techniques with drums on my most recent personal track.

Funny, I had to go back and listen, maybe it is not an accent, but in the the spoken parts... I suppose it is more the phrasing and accentuation. It gives me kind of a Nordic vibe. And then you got the nice rolled R in there keeping it interesting :D
 
Hey there Emiel! Dig the song man. Was up early and thought I would throw together a mix.

Cheers! :drunk:

Folks round here turned me onto parallel compression. Like applying parallel compression on each individual dadgum track, then puttin em in bus compression to glue them together like Peggy's biscuits n gravy.
 
Can't give away the secrets! Lol

Yeah, layered in samples on the snare, kick and toms. Plus parallel compression on all the drums.
What did you use for drum samples? EZ Drummer? Superior? I use EZ Drummer and others depending on what the song is.

Mostly SS Trigger Platinum samples. Also in there as support there is a sample from 'Poor Some Sugar On Me' that I made once for another project. 😂

I have to try the Steven Slate stuff - the snare you used was great - it had impact and a quality to the tone that really worked.
 
Might have been from the Terry Date sample pack. I can see what I used when I get back to studio.
