Here are some comments. It amuses me how many that writes these comments actually go out for finding faults without looking at the craft or how the unity in the song feels. AKA the big picture. Or, as I will end this post with - the big picture within a smokey pile of debris.
Lou: This is wiiiiiide. Maybe too wide. I also feel that mono compability is overrated, but this is perhaps on the very edge. The sound is soft, sweet and nice.
Ator: United. Good mix. The huge kick-klick is very attention-drawing. I think 2-buss processing should never include any limiter at the mix stage...
Rankus: The big pic is great here. The acoustic parts are very moody - your mix there makes the hairs stand out on my arms. You've nailed the mood there! Natural tone and rigid classic tone over-all. Smokey flangey Cobainic stuff.
Dik: United. Goody-goody mix. Acoustic passage #1 might still be a bit too high to go with the following chorus-thing. But over-all it is very good. Thank you for not articualting more than it is.
Calvin: Balanced and alive. Cool guitar shift at the "how long"-part at around 3:00. Very effective.
Cerberus: Surgical feeling, very articulated. Some kewl fret-things which are unpresent in other mixes. The tonality is very united, but the big picture is perhaps not very gathered. I really like the weird little noises and things that comes up here and there. Is the vox tuned?
ChrisJ: Snare a'la Eric B & Rakim. This mix is freakingly funny and I love it. I instantly get this feeling: I am in a house's basement watching the band from 10 feet distance. There are two guitar amps put in closets with closed doors which are really mooooaning in there. It is kewl, old-skool and the mix is entertaining cause it's very alive.
Nick T: Loud!?! Controlled. But aren't the vox disattached from the tone on the remaining musical mass? Might be. Good mix.
M Fassett: There is one instant thing i kinda feel here - I can almost see the kick pedal move through the air and go bang into the kick, like as if the mic is attached to the pedal itself and that is beyond kewl! Very swell feeling. Good balance, good unity and good big P. Pleasing tone. 2-buss limiter?
Nizzle: Good united tone thorughout the mix and the mix is good.
Blueboy: Kewl mix with a lot of edge. The bass is...funky.
Adam: Good big picture! That snare is...very controlled. Good mix, the tune is certainly there.
Vkorehov: Smokey pads, Vangelis!
The mix is good but there is a barrier here - the comp issues draws too much attention to them. Sidechain or whatever it is - that processing is overshadowing the music itself and it is kind of ironic since you earlier mentioned reverbs should be used with care. I think comps should be used with equal care.
Tom C: Good mix. Very articulated. Feels like you could stuff up 40-100 a little more, but the other aspects are just fine (big p, unity and so on...).
Garret: The mix is dancing. It is united. The snare draws my attention from the singer in the verses.
Undertow: Maybe a bit heavy on the bottom, maybe not. The mix is great but how much of that comes from the GR and level-increase on the 2-buss? Isn't this one going too far into mastering-land? Whassup with the 476 kbps by the way?
Jhall: As you indicated earlier, the comp things draws too much attention to themselves. I really like the vocal treatment, cause it brings some kind of Elvis/funkis thing to it. Soft, united and great big picture.
And finally (this will be a small essay):
Max: I have already seen some comments regarding your mix which are brutal. No need to worry about that man, you know what you are doing and you've done something that is beyond great - this is classic music. I was easily drawn to brutal conclusions as well at first, but found that your mix is the one that I come back to, time after time. I'm glad I came back to it, because as it is now - this one rock's my boat extremely much.
The bass is dominant, no wait, at spots it is. Vox goes with bass and acoustic guitar - drums with distorted guitars. Like two different soundscapes in one. Two-headed unity that shifts itself. Like a cobra transforming to a rattlesnake and then to a lizard. Ths mix smokes! It is unpredictability de luxe. The sounds are sweet, good, nice, rich. And especially one thing: At around 3:00 when the "hooow long will..."-part start, you ignite that one with the absoultely most effective guitar sound that kills any other mix at that spot instantly, period. RIght there you've just raced your F1 car across the finish line. It can not be made any better. That guitar sound along with the vox is what makes great music great. That very part along with the totally smoked soundscape is turning everything onto the genious side. This mix is very easy to sidekick as being "bad", "off" or whatever doesn't suit perfection for the day but - I swear to god - if the people who have wrote such comments will revisit this mix, listen to what it has got and find the excellence they might be freaked by how much fresh breezes you blow into evey aspect of music, mix and everything.
Max, I love your mix and your mix is like two open arms that embrace me again and again, every single time I listen to this piece of music. And guess what - the song is there, it really is. It comes up at the 2:nd listen as natural as in any polished and perfect version at the first. The difference thereafter is that your mix invites me back, over and over again. You are in a land of making music classic, dramatic, sensible, alive, crazed out, full of love and not just forgotten within a month and big, big kudos to you for reminding me of this very vital aspect of mixing.
Best Regards
