Shifting Sand

[Harks]

Recorded over a period of God knows how long!  A mate of a mate remixed and mastered it as my original lacked a bit of oomph.

I was enjoying the sound of the acoustics and then the electric came in - pow! Much too loud in my opinion, it's drowning out the vocal too.

good all around sound.jack c.voice volume on the money.

You have a good track here, but as Kurt said the Guitar is way too loud - it makes listening difficult

I think this could be excellent if mixed differently

Cheers

Furry paws are tapping so it must be half reasonable

Thanks for all your comments.  I take the point about the electric guitar being too loud.  Maybe I'll upload my original version at some point.  Cheers.

Nice tune! I had headphones on, so the widening trick around :15 caught me a bit unpleasantly - I'd say start the song with the acoustic guit nice and wide, it sounds super clear that way. YMMV!

You could approach the mix from a few different angles, but you might look at the kick drum, I think it's doing a bit much and is sucking a lot of low-end energy by being that loud. My guess is, your mixing friend added ooomph by compressing the drums more than a bit.

I really enjoyed the melody, and the drum performance, and the driving guitars. Once you get the low end sorted out, this will rawk!

cheers,
