That's a pumping and thumping rollercoaster ride you've got there. I'm impressed.

Minor nits: The mix seems overly compressed, with the midrange a bit lacking.

Not nits: Holy freaking toledo. Once that train starts rolling, it just keeps chugging along without a misstep. It's organic and musical, and the occasional odd time signatures work really well. A huge amount of work, I'm sure, but it pays off 1000%.

Wow. laugh


Thank you, David... Glad that you dropped in on this one - was really curios what your thought would be...

Not sure where "overly compressed" might come from. I use very little compression in a mix. The drums get a Multiband, the basses get a bit to give them some punch. I don't use any on the guitars. None on the horns or piano. The organ has some - and a distortion to give it bite. I do roll off the low end below 50 on a lot of things. There is a lot going on here (for me, anyway), so I did brighten some things with EQ to leave room in the middle for the vocals. The final mix was run through Ozone5 - same as always - so perhaps that would likely add some...

Appreciate your thoughts...
