OK, so I posted a song by this same band a few days ago and couldnt get much response mix wise. Let me know what u think.

Sound quality of this m4a file is quite bad, but what I can hear is good overall balance and sweet sounds. Good "drive" in the end, although it sounds a bit too distorted, but it may be cos' of the 3.2 mb file. Guitars open up nicely at 1:43, though they could be even wider and louder, just like those crashes.

Bass drum could be a little lower in the mix, maybe 1 or 2 db? I personally would mix the vocals and guitars just a 1 db higher, but that's just my taste

...but wait...that's what happens if you just bring the bass drum down a bit (in the quieter part). Also a touch of reverb or delay for the vocal in the chorus? (2:05) would make it "bigger than life" and a bit more interesting. Good job anyway

great song first of all. Sounds like a the Postal Service covering a Brian Eno cut from "Another Green World".

Ok. not sure if its just the file but it definitely gets distorted when kick comes in. I agree with lowering the kick but also play with EQ on the guitar so it sits better and you don't have to automate its volume so much to let it coexist with the vocals.

hey guys, thanks a lot for the advice.

sorry about the crappy file, i didnt listen to it before i uploaded....just saw the songs on the desktop and figured id post them.

your right about kick drum, and i'll work on my stereo field with guitars.

any advice on getting those already hard panned guitars even wider?
