Just mix them up and down - the mix is quite dense - I would get more air in there and separation. It is an interesting sound.Righto thanks...open up the drums...you mean make them louder, brighter? What do you mean? The guitars are too loud you reckon? Also, I really have no idea how to define the bass. It's a DI...so it's just like a congealed wall of bass. Cutting or boosting frequencies...well I can't even really hear the effect of doing so unless it's exaggerated a lot. And I don't know what frequency to mess with in order to get a balanced response across lots of different play back situations. Any tips?
I guess I want to ask...in summary...how would you go about doing the things you mentioned? Briefly.
Thanks
I think your snare needs more top, it's cutting through but doesn't have a complete tone, a lack of crispness. Maybe compressor attack is too fast? Vocals are great. It's a good jam, nice job

Get the drums louder, put some space (reverb) around them. I would EQ the bass - pick some primary Frequencies and empathize them. Start the Mix with the Drums - get them sounding good - then bring in the bass - and decide which will dominate the kick or the bass- most of the drums carve out above 10k - then the lower register get the Kick and Bass away from each other 50 hz and below take completely out - concentrate on around 80 hz for the kick and 100hz - 300 hz for the bass and remove frequencies that help the kick and bass stand out from each other.Righto thanks...open up the drums...you mean make them louder, brighter?

You have to be able to hear - that's crucial.
Barefoot Sound MicroMain27.So what did you listen on, if you don't mind just helping me out. Thanks man.
Barefoot Sound MicroMain27.
have heard those have a very forward, smeary, ill-defined mid range? You are not thinking about Barefoot Monitors. They are exceptionally clear and detailed - and reveal everything about a mix.Fair enough man. I have heard those have a very forward, smeary, ill-defined mid range. But, you know, I haven't heard them. I guess if the midrange is like that then a song like mine, which in all likeliness doesn't have the greatest mix, could very well sound messed up in that mid range especially on those speakers...just where you're talking about...that low mid area where kick and bass seem stuffed up. But I sure don't want to get into a thing about your choice of speakers etc.
Cool tune and nice vocals. I would like to hear them a bit louder as others have pointed out.
The snare sounds a bit choked by the compressor. There seems to be a lot going on in the lower mids - sounds a bit crowded and cluttered, IMO.
Cool vibe!
