Excellent excellent track... Just awesome... Congrats on some great work...

My only 2 suggestions (personal bias mostly)

1. Dont keep that autotuned bit on vocals... It detracts from an othewise wonderfully organic track.

2. The mix could do with a little more separation... Especially in the chorus area, it gets a little muddy...

Musically though this song is brilliant!

 

Great song! It seems like there may be too much verb, it seems like it's kinda all swirling together. Like Kinghtsurfer said, just needs a li'l separation. Really well-written joint.

 

Thanks for listening to my song guys and the great feedback !
I will definitely take that into consideration when I finish mixing this

 

hi @akashaman great song & thanks for sharing
for the mix :
imho the guitar strum in the beginning is panned very much to the right but that is a personal preference...
try to clean your effects/reverbs with eqing
the drums & your stereo image maybe will be impoved if you bring them more to the center/mono so try some m/s processing
the guitar solo is a bit loud in the mix,but it is the star of the show.hope this info helps you

 

Thanks so much spyfx !!
the electric & acoustic guitars are panned hard R / L , ya :
u think i should bring them in more ?
i do this to help separate , but maybe its not the best place for them , ha

i will def try your other suggestions as well ! --

ya , i think the solo is a DB or two over ! TY

big helps , all

 

i was talking only about the guitar strum in the beginning of the track & it is a personal taste,so if you like it like that then leave it like that
also try to experiment with some kind of transient shaper for your mix
i use spl a lot,know it is a bit expensive but for me it is worth it,also check the de-verb plugin :

since you have ozone plugins,check https://www.izotope.com/en/products/mix/neutron.html
and it's transient shaper part

and all the above are just suggestions & hope will help you

Oh I got you on that intro that’s a great idea
!
I’ll bring it full stereo )

I will have to check into that transient shaper I have some OZone tools , do they have one in there ?!

Thanks so much

 

you would use those plugins on the master bus eh ?

transient shaper , de -verb ?

 

A great song, cool guitars

 

on your master bus you can use ozone 8 : you can do m/s processing with the included eq,make mono your low end of the spectrum with the stereo imager,do some bus compression,tape saturation & even give your tracks some magic with the vintage eq

a transient shaper can be used in your mixing stage & on drums to make them tighter & sit better in a mix

de-verb is a solution for me if you don't have access to the stems of a track,
try to eq your effects/reverb first

good luck & know that mixing/mastering is an artform
experiment a lot & don't forget above all to trust your ears

 

awesome track man. reminds me of some Oasis type of vibe (hope that doesnt offend you) . good track.

 

i did a bit to it , seems clearer to me ; vocal wise :
i adjusted the auto tune more relaxed , and lowered the verb , wasnt much on it really : and using abbey road EQ on its send ;
turned down the OH , AMB & Verb on drums via MIXER a bit ~! [ SD3 ]
EQ`d the bass a bit more , think it pops out more : hope not too loud .
thanks everyone for tips , mixing is an art , but its fun trying to get it listenable at least , ha :
here is new mix , old one is left up for comparison :

@No Avenger, -- i lowered the AMB mic & OH quite a bit , bringing the kick and snare closer i believe : i left the older track up for comparison !
