Lee the only things that stands out as an issue are the cymbals in the intro & the death metal bass drum.
The former is a bit loud & effected, the latter just a matter of taste.
Oh, on occassion the dynamics lift but the vox don't quite match the lift.
I like the perc in the bridge.
Another good'un Lee.
Your writing is quite good - the pop punk metal work well.
Ray,
glad to read from you again! Thanks for the songwriting props.
Im feeling so antsy about finishing this one that I'm really taking the idea of bringing down the cymbal chokes with me. I figure I still have a chance to get back in the mixing room and fix that real quick before this hurricane does it's thing on florida.
I figure if I can get away with another good mix before florida goes under, then I can live without power for the time being. Stress free.
Same with the vocals, but that's a matter of minor automation.
Valid point about the kick. Not my complete favorite taste-wise, but not something I hate either. If it makes the guys happy, then I can compromise.
I'm glad the percussion sat well with you, it was a major pain in the ass to align all those performances to the grid. Drums are my thing, so I don't have a problem working with those, but it got kind of hairy for me once the tablas where added. Let's put it this way, they didn't sound like that before.
I hope to come back tonite with a second version, hopefully you can store this mix in memory and compare once I have the new one up.
great input
