Spent two nights re-doing the the drums and re-mixing this nutty tune, need a break. Something's just not right, maybe multiple things, I'm chasing my tail trying to find it. Maybe nothing's wrong, I don't know.
I EQ'd all the guitars a little, they were raw in the original mix, and lowered the leads a hair. Also EQ'd and compressed the toms and snare, not sure if it worked well or not.
EQ'd and compressed the bass and turned it up a tad, feel individual notes weren't coming through enough on the original version. Not sure if I pulled it off.
Lowered the keys some. There were more keys tracks than I remembered, 4 total, often with 3 going at once. Turning them down a little seemed to clean up the mix.
Definitely going to give it a few days rest and work on some other songs. Super curious to see if anything jumps out to anyone.
Edit: I could've just posted this in the original thread for this tune, but that thread has "Drum Help" in the title, so I figured I'd start a fresh one for the completed mix.
