"Let That Love Out" Any Mix/EQ Suggestions?

[Robertt8]

Here's a new acoustic, grooving (kind of) tune i've been playing with. it still needs live drums and some kind of filler in the rock hole (solo area)...probably guitar or harmonica, but i was wondering what you guys thought of the mix and EQ. I can never seem to get things sounding the way i want with EQ as stuff either sounds too tiny or too muddy. i kind of do the same thing with effects. it seems like either way too much, or way too little.

If anyone cares, this was done with a Presonus firebox, with mostly the Shure KSM32. The bass was run through as sansamp di box. By the way, when we were recording the bass, we went with one of their suggested settings in the manual i thought is sounded really distorted until i put in the other instruments...now for some reason it seems to fit better than most of the bass recordings we've done.

anyway, any suggestions would rock.

here's the link to listen:

thanks!

"Y' gotta stop! Hey! What's that sound? Everybody look what's goin' down."
Stills..Buffalo Springfield? :^) An inspiration?

I like the mix and the sounds...genuine Neo Carribe feel, especially the bass with that round sound....with lots of rythmic space for the drums to be announced. Like it so far. Tight. No mix nits.

JEFFMAHER: Thanks for checkin' it out and replyin'! You know...i don't think it was an inspiration, but you never know what's locked up in that noggin' that might be trying to get out.

Thank you sir!
