Your mix definitely has the "J.Hall" print on it.

hard for me to avoid.....in fact, it's literally IMPOSSIBLE.

You had to have used a sample on the kick, huh? Not only was that big and solid, but it didn't have the little "double taps" from the beater. I put a gate on mine, but that one sounds great.

um, it's safe to say that EVERY mix you ever hear of mine has a replaced or blended kick sample. and i did do this mix............

For my taste, the snare was too even for me. I like the snare hitting a little above everything on this one.
|
well, there's no accounting for taste!
hitting above? you mean my snare (which is not a sample, nor did i blend a sample) is not loud enough????? surely you aren't serious.....

That's your drum buss sound, though and it does sound nice, even, and under control.

not sure what my "drum buss" is. i don't sub the drums, never have, can't see myself doing either.
nice, even, and under control.......well, if you want your mix to have any semblance of balance, you'll have to have that list. although, "nice" is something i try to avoid. i actually go for "aggressive", even and under control.

Why did everybody decide on the Depeche Mode "Personal Jesus" delayed guitar?

if the shoe fits........
my mentor once said, "cliche exists for a reason........don't always fight cliche, it's already been accepted by the market"
it's not my job to re-invent the wheel. nor is it my job to deal out any "surprises" from the mix. it's the band's job to deal out all the "surprises" and it
is my job to capitalize on what the band does.
this was a simple rock tune. a throw back rock tune. i gave it a "modern" feel and honored it's motivations. oddly enough, my mix is very similar to Jim's which i had not heard till after mine was finished.
only reason i used delay on that guitar part was i thought the tone was pretty boring, and i wanted to give the part a more expansive feel.
