Too much reverb? Too loud?

[NotThatBright]

Thanks Chili and Gecko for answering my question. I'm yanking the link now.

No and no. Not too much reverb. Vox is not too loud. In fact, the whole mix seems pretty spot on to me.

Thanks for the help, Chili. I think hearing the voice take a second to die away at the points where the music stops was pissing me off. It's always something!

vocal is fine, and reverb is fine.

However, 'm not too keen on the sound of the kick and snare, which to me seem a bit dull and boxy. I also like to hear a bass with more bass.

But good tight playing and well put together

Thanks. The kick is just about exactly the sound I want. I don't care for the snare either, but I don't think I could get a different snare tone without using some PC software to master it. There's no good reason for it, but I seem to be reluctant to use anything beyond my DP-24 to do the entire process.

My "war on boxiness" is probably the reason you couldn't hear enough bass- I cut the bass guitar (really, everything but vocals and guitar) at 450hz and boost it at 175hz and 2.2khz. If I turn it up too loud, it will overwhelm the kick drum.
