Positive Comments: This is a really nice track and has a lot of potential. Its very well crafted and has a lovely feel and is emotional very warming which I like a lot.You have chosen great guitar sounds and nice vocal sounds. The lyircs and clever lyrics and the melody is a perfect fit for the music and the emotional context of the track.
Constructive Comments: Firstly the kick is non existent and that’s the first things i look at in a mix. It created the ‘front to back’ balance of a mix.The snare drum has a nice sound but is buried in low/mids, its a little too wolly and dull sounding and needs to be a cleaned up and a lot louder, the lead guitar also has far too much low mids on it The mix cant breath properly and its not doing the quality of the song the justice it could have.Take out under 100khz home on the vocals as on the first ‘Hone is where i wanna be’ line the ‘Be’ creates a bass push which is translated into a small thump when you say it. Its a ‘proximity effect’ from the mic but can be rectified.This song mixed properly by someone like me has huge potential but at the moment this track is far from being radio ready in the mainstream industry and I would suggest spending that bit more extra time on the mix to really give the wow factor.I have some offers on at the moment at the studio aimed at trying to help musicians get over the line with radio ready, industry and film and TV mixed and mastered tracks.Its aimed at bands who have everything ready to make the a potential hit record but cant afford the thousands of pounds Chris Lord Alge mix.At this time Im lucky to still be active in the stufdio.Dropme an email if you have any questions or feel I can help you further.Much Love and Stay SafeAlexCMI Music Groupwww.cmimusicgroup.comalex@cmimusicgroup.com
