The name of my project is 'ghosts of sadako' the song is called 'omega'.

Good playing, the recoridng sounds good. To me there seems to be a little scooped effect in the mids that is preventing the track feeling up front. The guitar parts also sound a little fizzy in the high, perhaps by EQ the high frequency more carefully they could sound better. But overall good work, I like the song.

thanks for your comments. I am very glad you said that because I've been debating changing the EQ curve on this track all day. Actually before I read your comment I did cut the hi-mids around the 8khz area to 'soften' the mix a little as I felt it was quite 'harsh' on the ears when I played it in the car.
