This was an interesting tune. I have since replaced my monitors and would mix this differently...but it is what it is.

Imp9NickT- Let's be really loud! Could I hear this mix again on a song about taking too much crack and peeling your lips off? Belongs on Lou Reed songs. The vocalist is too serene for this mix. There's nothing glossy or sentimental about it, which is a wrench considering the way the lyrics are sort of misty and emo. I don't think this harshness works with the song, and I'm surprised not to hear it on the harshest background elements where it DOES work.

Well...I was on crack and my lips are chapped...does that count?

From SingSing NickT Bright and squashed mix with lots of snare verb and some short panned lead vox delays. The snare is maybe a bit weak/phasy, but the drums in general are just fine. Interesting kick, how did you do that? Sounds like no other mix, so thumbs up for that! =)

Kick is just comped and eq'd. A little comp on the drum buss. Thanks. The delay just got past me with my old monitors. Just didn't seem that loud or sibilant.
OK...Mix comments:
JHall - Nice low end I like the vox treatment.
TLester - Very smooth mix. Nice tones.
Cary - Nice intro. I like the second guitar coming in later. Chorus vox could come up.
Gatino - Vox very bright. I like the stereo field.
Undertow - Heavy Bass. Not muddy, but a little loud. Nice overall mix.
Scottoliphant - More reverb than I like. Nice Drum mix.
NickT - To Freakin' Loud! After my ears stopped bleeding, I made a discovery...right in front of me...a volume knob..and yes...I could turn it down..and the world was good again!
A little bright. You must have mixed on old monitors!
ScottH - Bass is making attack noises. A little distracting, but the overall levels and tones are very nice.
DConstruction - Very creative. I like the vox...maybe a little bright, but nice. I would like a little more bass.
LouMan - Verb separates the vox from the mix a little. Tones are good.
ScottVolthause - Nice mix. Low mids a little muddy to my ears.
ChrisJ - Bass is really loud! It masks the drums. Chorus is nice.
Garret - Noise in this mix. Drums disappear. Vox sound nice. Pitched up?
Henchman - Nice Mix. The drums sound great. The Rhodes fx track in the chorus is a little loud. Covers the vox.
Nizzle - Very "stereo" mix. Nice treatment.
Ator - Nice intro. Smooth mix. Vox could come up in the chorus a little.
iCombs - I like this. Attack on the bass is a little distracting but a very nice mix.
SingSing - Another smooth mix. A little bass heavy. Nice overall mix!
Rankus - Nice live feel. Like walking into a small club.
MarkFassett - Has a distant sound to it. Levels are good. Verb sets it back.
TomC - Bass is missing. Vox seem a little mid heavy.Drums are set back in the mix. Vox sound better in the chorus.
Greg Dixon - Another intimate mix. Feels like you are in the room with these guys. Nice
Maxim - Bass is loud. Nice use of the tracks for fills. Vox a little to far out front for me.
Star - Intro was different! I liked that. Chorus is a lot louder than the verse. Lost the vox in the chorus.
RedFro - Nice mix. The delay in the chorus set the vox a little to far back. Nice overall mix.
Spoon - Mix is good. I like the vox a little drier. Nice tones.
Sir Wax - Nice mix. I like the way the chorus opens up.
VlaD - Guitars sounds good but a little loud. Something in the chorus is making a noise. Not sure what that is.
These are just my thoughts.
Thanks,
NickT
