Sounds like I'm separated from the snare/bass drums too much - they need more presence IMHO. I don't really like the choice of bass sound - a more traditional bass guitar or double bass would fit better I think. Overall very nice piece though. Sax sounds great! By the way, I have no clue about recording so take what I say with a shed load of salt! > http://www.k2bea.org/Home/Reflections-Apples-low.ogg Wow drums are so much better! They are still sounding a little too filtered in some way tho - cymbals too sibilant, snare missing resonance. Vocals could do with more top end and a lot less low end - sounding a little muddy to my ears. Guitars sound quite synthy and could maybe do with a touch of compression????? or mid? Mix again sounds like it's missing the middle freqs and the bass up to around 300Hz is too loud - too much different information going on from conflicting sources there. Again.. same get-out clause applies to my (probably wildly wrong) statements! Oh - and what are you monitoring on? I just noticed it sounds much better on my terrible computer speakers than on my (more decent) headphones. I guess your monitors might be a bit mid-emphasising? 2 fantastic songs tho!
