Let the listening marathon begin:
IMP 11 mcsnaremix.mp3
I like this one a lot, instruments are nicely separated, very good
sounding low end kick/bass wise, sounds clean and professional.
Vocals could IMO have a bit more energy, a little more fader riding
would do the job.
Grant-Richard_Original-fantasy6.mp3
Low end could be more defined, I'd like to hear better what the
(really good) bass player is doing, especially in the chorus parts.
Interesting idea at the beginning the second chorus, draws back me
attention to the song nicely.
I like the guitar sound of the solo a lot.
IMP11_BoedoMIX.mp3
Good and solid mix with a nice vocal sound and a good bottom end.
Don't like the snare sound, it's a bit to dominating and sits somehow
behind the OH.
IMP11- Shakestheclown.mp3
I miss the bottom end on this one a bit, it sounds a bit
boxy and laid back because of that. Add some power there and the song
will have much more energy and impact.
Even I'm not a big fan of reverbs some of the vocal effects sound
quite cool.
IMP11-RANKUS.mp3
Intensive and in-your-face vocals, I like that a lot. Drums are a bit
kick-heavy, but the overall drum sound is good.
You could use the stereo field a bit more, it's almost mono.
iCombs_-_IMP11.mp3
Kick-wise similar to RANKUS, and the snare is a bit to dominat and plays
(reverb-wise) behind the rest of the kit.
Good use of the complete stereo field.
You tried (successfully) to make everything big, but I think the individual
instruments do not gel together very well because of that, it sounds more
like a couple of solo players mixed together.
I'd like to see the band as one unit.
IMP11-ChrisJ.mp3
Somehow dull as it was recorded behind a carpet (the drums even behind a
closed door), and that breaks the mix.
That's a pity because I like the vocals a lot, not very intense but with
a nice sound.
IMP-011-TomC.mp3
Oops, that's me. Great mix of course!
briefcasemanx_-_PMC_11.mp3
Another "I'll kill your sub-woofer" mix. Vocals are totally different to
mine, but I like that approach a lot, clean, a bit laid back but
really good sounding.
I'm missing the OH, overall the mix could be a bit brighter.
imp11-garret.mp3
You did a lot of experimentation with this one, but I think it
took away too much energy of the original recording.
Overall a bit dark.
IMP_11_macbraddy48.mp3
Wow, that's LOUD.
I like the overall sound, but that LOUDNESS takes a lot of energy away,
especially at the bottom end, and the lack of dynamics makes the song
a bit fatiguing.
Interesting and good sound vocals in the verses.
imp11_-_singsing.mp3
The lack of low end makes the sound unbalanced and bright, so it's hard
to judge the song. Maybe the excessive use of reverb wouldn't show up
that much if the overall balance would be better.
Did you steal some vocals?
IMP11_Greg_Dixon.mp3
Solid and save mix, but I think it could be a bit brighter.
I'd like to hear the kick supporting the (nice) bass a bit more.
imp11_jdier.mp3
Sounds very compressed and is therefore missing some of the dynamics.
The low end is missing, you didn't do justice to that great bass player.
imp11JHall.mp3
Mister kick is back. A completely different, more psychedelic vocal
approach, but it's working good in your mix. Best BG vox so far.
The kick sounds nice but is IMO to big for the bass, it somehow
slows down the beat. The guitars are a bit bright for my taste.
IMP11-Nizzle.mp3
A bit bright, but with a nice overall balance and a good vocal sound.
I'd like to hear the vocals (especially the BG vocals) in the chorus
a bit more, they are lacking energy.
imp11_carefulcollapse.mp3
Dunno if I like the extra chorus or not, but it's (as the other 'remixed'
parts as well) an interesting idea. Maybe I'm too used to the 'normal'
flow of the song to judge this.
Vocals get a bit drown in the chorus.
imp11_maxim.mp3
The loudness between the instruments/vocals seems a bit off and that
makes the mix unbalanced. I'd bring out the vocals more and the guitars
less.
And I actually like to hear the drums witch are more or less none existant.
IMP11-Blueboy-V1.mp3
Overall a good and save mix with nice vocals.
For my taste the snare is bit to thin/bright, it doesn't gel well with the
rest of the kit.
IMP11 - Fantomas.mp3
Nothing to complain here, like the balance and the sound of the instruments
and vocals. In the first chorus I'd adjust the dynamics of the rest better
to the rhythm guitar, they are a bit to dominant there.
IMP11-ATOR.mp3
Another one I like a lot, good sound and balance of the instrument.
I'd like to here the singer a bit better, it often competes with the
guitars. Interesting and good idea with the background vocals in the
last chorus, the rearrangement works good in your mix.
Most probably I'll dream of that song tonight...
