"On Your Way", new melodic rock original

[bats brew]

https://batsbrew.bandcamp.com/track/on-your-way

another new original, this will be on the upcoming bats brew release "The Wild Animals"

this is a next to next to last mix...
looking for feedback on freq balances mostly.

i think i need more 60 hz and down (prolly subs on the kick), 
and bass guitar needs to come up on the 2nd half of the song.

JMO the snare, albeit a great sound, it's just about 1.5 db too loud.

Ya, kick could use a bit more sub.

And da bass could come up in the breakdown for sure. 2nd half seems fine to me.

Great track all around Bats.

hey bapu!! thanks man,

you know, i agree with how live the drums come across..
but i only have an old 16 bit stereo file to work with here, that drum kit recording came from over 10 years ago,
with a program i no longer have!
oops
so, it's a stereo file.
the wider it goes, the more the room sound comes in..
i COULD collapse the left and right together down to mono, and minimize that snare sound, and room sound.
hm...

 

i DID remix the bass track, for some reason, probably trying out different bass parts and picking different 1st and 2nd halves, i have a different bass channel for the 2nd half.

and even tho the wave forms look identical as far as peak goes, it is a weaker sounding track, for sure.

both bass channels are mono, and both are going into a bass sub bus, so i went back to the 2nd bass part, and just re-eq'd and leveled it by ear, and that really fixed that 2nd half.

i added waves BB Magma tubes plug, and saturated it a bit, and then added a touch of Rcomp at about 75 hz, and that seemed to round out that track to better match the 1st...

 

good ears!
