David Rossi Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Hi all, Would love some critical mix feedback on below. Seem to be fighting the volume wars in the chorus and can’t tell if my ears are getting tired or it needs some readjustment. Kinda like the way it’s shaping up tho… The Underhills / Faith Edited July 4, 2023 by David Rossi 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikkie Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Hi David, very nice, good tune and vocals. I can't give you mix advice , don't have decent monitors, but the distorted guitar power chords are competing with your vocals imho, maybe more of a rhythm pattern than long power chords.

Hey Rikkie, thanks for the listen and suggestions. Oddly I have another set of guitars takes that are muted that are more chunky / rhythmic and I still feel it fights a little. I dropped the eq of the guitars a little in that low tenor range and they seem to fit a little better. Still not quite there… Edited June 28, 2023 by David Rossi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Great pop rock tune, vocals and melody are very well done . . . it's got good dynamics too, starts intimate, and gets big and powerful, especially like the way you've used acoustic and electric guitars to get those those dynamics . . . great to listen to on my headphones, I'll certainly try some speaker listens tomorrow, see how it translates . . .

Bajan Blue Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 A Really good track - personally not keen on the transition with the acoustic guitar at the start (14secs) - sounds a bit forced, but your track so your choice Apart from that arrangement great Cool Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dichotomy is the only reason it’s there… 13 minutes ago, daryl1968 said: really nice song David - mix sounds good here. Thanks man!

Lynn Wilson Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 This sounds like a polished mix to my ears! I love the song, the arrangement, and the vocals, I've heard thousands of songs in my life that don't hold a candle to this. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Excellent. I'd say the mix is virtually perfect. The only part that I'm wondering about is the first electric guitar introduction. You hit the sweet spot for it the second time it appears, maybe take the first appearance down a dB or so. Great song, vox, performance, recording. Listened on my Yamaha 5.1 system.

Thanks for the mix comments, I’ve wondered how the reverbs are sitting on the vox as well. I never quite feel like I’m finished 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
