it's an effective mix, gets the energy across really well. you did a damn good job.

here're my bones to pick, since you asked:

1) lots of stuff out to the edges, and up the middle, but not much anywhere else. it leaves holes between the elements that i want filled in somehow.

2) the drums are too small, especially the snare. my money is on the L2 killing the transients, but i don't know the original mix so i can't say.

3) the cymbals are too crunchy and buried.

these are nits, if i was the client and didn't have an engineer's ears i'd be thrilled.

i gotta ask, you a guitarist by any chance?
