check my mix

[funsongs]

@funsongs--YES It was played on a recent episode of TTV-TNX for listening-what do you think about the mix?

My 2 cents: while I like the tune and edginess of it (sounds like dance/club mix?); the guitar riff (which is cool) makes it sound left-side heavy and unbalanced.
It needs a complementary 'thing' over on the right to even it out - IMHO.
Hope that helps. Good onya for getting the link worked out.
Cheers.

Without reading anyone else's response and without knowing what the references were...

Not of fan of the guitar sound at the start, it comes across kinda thin and fake sounding.

The vocal ad libs jump out of the mix as though they are refugees from another track, they just sound stuck on.

Drums and percussion sound okay and reasonably balanced

Bass is somewhat muffled and sounds like a keyboard

I think overall the impression I get is keyboard bass and guitar have been used which makes the track sound rather midi like and dated sounding , so even with a better mix it isn't going to sound realistic. This is compounded by the fact that the guitar part is the main thing throughout the whole cue.

Those midi sounding parts just leave it a bit flat and robotic sounding and even with a more polished mix I think it would still be the case, so better quality sounds would be the first thing I would focus on over the mix.

Hey Ewartwillams!

The part that does stick out to me is the guitar lick that repeats over and over. It keeps pulling your attention to it throughout the piece, and as mentioned it is a bit thin sounding, so after a while it just sticks out. I did like it in the intro, so perhaps a bit more sparsely used throughout the track? As per some of the other comments with regards to the warmth, perhaps with a better low end mix to warm it up, the guitar will sit better.

Nice work though, but I can hear what the screener is saying.

Good luck!
