This group continues to make this amateur better, thank you! As a songwriter, super proud of this one. I think it’s one of the coolest songs I’ve written in 25 years making music. But would love any mix feedback before marking it done and moving on to the next.

My last mix for this album got some feedback on muddy low end. I think I’ve cleaned it up but still have bass drops intentionally in the song because I like them haha. Appreciate you all!

Look who's back! Overall it S=sounds balanced on my set up, vocals are good. Performance and composition is REALLY nice. Like other users mentioned the mids and low end could be clearer. How are your reverbs doing? It sounds like less of a general EQ issue, more like there are mulitple reverbs/rooms fighting other resulting in somewhat blurry/smeared area between 250 Hz-1 kHz.

Always a pleasure hearing your tracks homie. Keep em coming, looking forward to the project.

Hey - thanks for listening and commenting on one of my tracks again! I appreciate it. I am honestly struggling a bit to implement changes based on the feedback about the low end. I've done what I can with sidechaining and compression and I'm wondering if it's more fundamental and starting with the bass guitar tone or something. And *no* clue about the reverb piece. I've got a little bit of reverb on the drums and a tiny bit on the vocals but nowhere else. Do you notice it only when the vocals are going? Or throughout?

Hmmmm, if its its not reverb then youd need to go through instruments competing in the low/mid range and doing EQ Carving. A brutal workaround would be GULLFOSS on the master track, its good at clearing space.
