AlexLakis · 5th December 2005

I'm hearing a lot of overall dynamic shifting. Some slow pumping...I sounds like it might be dependant on the bass drum? The snare is a bit too cuttingly bright to me, which makes it sound a bit too loud. It's a bit squashed too. Also, I'm hearing a bit too much amp noise during the cutoff part. Maybe run some x-noise on just that part? Some phasing is becoming apparent too there, hard to tell because of the effects...

I dig the song a lot! Cool vocals too. I like the way things sit in the mix, and I think it's a good, musical effort. Nice job!
