Hi everyone!
This is my Mix entry for the contest. Tracks already sounded awesome, so this was loads of fun!
I decided to try a more modern sound for the song.
The drums are all real, except that I blended in the kick sample provided by Joe slightly. Other than that no samples for snare or rooms. Such a good sounding recording space!
Good balance and nice vocals.
I see what you mean by bringing more room to the snare, but for my taste this might be too much
Anyway, great mix!!!
Excellent musical balance. Well done !
If I had to nitpick, I wonder if the drums (excellent sound) aren’t a little too present, particularly the snare.
I’m not too convinced if this type of sound suits the musical style of the title whose atmosphere is country style.
But it’s still a remarkable job.
I just listened to your mix again on headphones and I must admit that the impression about the snare is not the same.
Everything seems well integrated.
Only small surprise (on headphones): I hear someone speaking in the background of the mix at 1’49” during the “empty” passage played by the cymbal…
If it’s not a voice, what is this?
Do we both have the same tracks?
Or has an intruder slipped into your mix? LOL…
This is a great mix
The snare rocks

Thank you guys for all the feedback!
Definately one of the best mixes I have listened to so far.
Really great. You hear every tiny detail in this mix.
Also nice punch, very transparent, and everything very well balanced.
Awesome job!
This is great, my friend. Love the mids in the mix. Excellent job!
@Thomas_Kramer : Thank you for the nice words! Will check out yours now.
@oputovitor : Thank you! You did an excellent job as well!
I love the way the snare cracks. Vocals and drums sound perfect. I could feel the emotion of the mix. Great job!
Good mix, very “snappy” snare, could have a little more body, but that’s just personal taste. ;-)
Good luck to you.
Great job! It is a very balanced mix both level-wise and frequency-wise. I think the drums are a bit too snappy and compressed for this genre. However, you did go for a more modern sound so it’s a taste thing. Well done!
@rentaroot + @Sebastianlindqvist: Thank you for the feedback! I can see where both of you are coming from, but somehow those well recorded drum tracks pushed me into those stronger compression settings because it just sounded so good haha.
