prophetik music ⚖️ Posted October 4, 2024 Author Posted October 4, 2024 this is a significant improvement over the last version. the vocals fit into the mix way better than before in terms of EQing. they're still super fast and hard to understand, but the song itself is fun enough that i found myself looking past that at all the fun stuff going on in the background. drum parts overall feel a lot better as well, there's a lot more content there than there was the first time around. this isn't perfect by any means but i think it's a fun take and a really neat arrangement - like i said in my last vote, i wouldn't have believed these were two different original tracks. this is over my bar. YES
Emunator ⚖️ Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 My last vote boiled down to a "death by a thousand cuts" situation where a number of shortcomings were adding up to a mix that felt indistinct and overwhelming, despite a really strong arrangement with a ton of really engaging elements. I'm happy to say that this clears things up substantially - you're still working with a really challenging set of sounds to blend together, so the execution isn't perfect (I'm not in love with the snare tone, and the overall mix still feels aggressively hot and a little harsh) but this resubmission feels like "success by a thousand little tweaks." Nothing fundamental has changed, but all those little things you did to polish the mixdown certainly pushed this over the line for me. Well done! YES
Chimpazilla ⚖️ Posted October 4, 2024 Posted October 4, 2024 I'm in agreement with Brad and Wes. This is a significant improvement. The elements are clearer, most especially the vocals. It's still crazy crowded and fast paced, and I also agree this snare isn't the best snare sound ever, but this version gets it over the bar for me. The guitar solo is a highlight! Cool, fun stuff here. So good! YES
