I'm still pondering adding to this as I have been offered a couple of good suggestions when I posted the half done track in the composition section. I think there is enough variation in the track now, but I may be delusional and the whole thing may well have been better in the bin, but it's been fun doing it and I learned from the process. I'd appreciate ideas in respect of the mix and where I can improve its delivery. I have listened to a lot of tracks in this part of the forum and I almost get a complex about not having enough bottom end to my tracks, but I do play them on my home stereo and the bass seems about average compared with material I have purchased. All thoughts appreciated.

Listening as I type...I like the "morrrrrre" etc parts a lot, it's powerful and smooth. Definitely enough bass. Great guitar tones. Not finding anything wrong with the mix I think you did a good job there
 
The song is quite interesting - when I listen to new music, I usually try to connect who the artist is influenced by and more or less channeling but this one is hard to pinpoint. As far as the mix and the low end, I think it's pretty solid. The main thing I hear that might need attention is perhaps tightening up the composition a bit. I'd like to hear it again if re-done...overall, an interesting listen.
 
Tim,
I'm listening with headphones so consider that when reading the following:
The crash(?) cymbal is pretty bright & fizzy. It might do with a little "darkening". It seems to splash across the stereo image in hphones.
The kick drum could use a little bit of click. I'm not sure what freq. range that's in but it would give a better cue to the bass drumm given that it's competing with a very solid bass chug.
As a personal preference, which realistically all of the above is, I'd like the vocals a little lower in the mix and brought to the current level for the "more" bit.
Good song and pretty solid mix.
 
I like your song. I agree with all ray's comments. I'm not really qualified to comment on vocals as I struggle with them, but on this vocal I would vary the sonics between verse & chorus, maybe with some distortion, or delay/modulation. The song is nicely constructed and flows well. Good tune
 
I'm listening on shitty PC speakers.. and its sounding pretty good with enough lows(IMO). I really dig the tune! good job!

cheers
 
Sorry for the late response, I've been hijacked by work in a big way. ido1957, thanks for listening and the feedback, much appreciated.

Ricklh, thank you, I'm looking at the whole track in respect of composition and generally tidying up the eq in a few areas, thanks for your time.

Ray, yes I'm onto it. I am going through it track by track and will get more detail from the drums to cut through. I also appreciate your thoughts about the vocal levels, as I do listen on a variety of set ups prior to settling with something worth posting. I am always surprised at how the vocal level can change drastically when listening through different speakers or cans, so try to find a happy medium, but I do think I can back them off a notch or two, and like you say keep the long notes to the fore. Thank you, always appreciated.

Bulls Hit, cool handle by the way. Thank you, I'll have a tinker with some vocal tones and see how it jogs along when I get back onto this at the weekend. Thanks for listening.

HugoRibero.com, Thank you for listening, I'm really chuffed that the song is getting some positive feedback, It spurs me on to work hard with the next.

Much appreciated, once again very sorry for my late acknowledgement of the replies, but I seriously have been stuffed for having time to do anything much other than work for a week or two.

All the best

Tim
