A New Sensation Mix Number 2

Sounds pretty faithful to the original! I'd say "take the snare drum down a tad" but that wasn't the style, was it? more like "stairwell to heaven"
 
If you were looking to improve something, the background vocals could be doubled or tripled or chorused or microtuned or all of the above . . . as they are, they are kind of thin sounding to my ears.
 
I can tell you put in a lot of work here and it's a remarkable rendition. the mix seems very well balanced, nothing really sticks too far out, the bass is nice and controlled. Good job!

Nice cover Mooch.  As for comments, and these may be taste as much as anything else: I'd like to hear a bit more of the bass and less of the snare, which kinda' sounds a little boxey to me.

 
Thanks Philz - I am re-recording the bass ...... I was experimenting with the mic on the cabinet and recording direct ... and didnt come out on this one as I liked .... then ill re tweek the mix and post a second version 

Thanks

Good stuff Mooch. I like the snare - it's similar to the original. Bass could come up in the mix though.

 
Thanks !!! Working on a slight re mix then Ill repost

Mooch can I ask what the demos for?  Because, just like a resume, you might want to rejigger it depending upon the goals.

 
We have an expo coming up -- we will have a listing booth set up --  plus we will use it to hand out to clients - and also put on our web site 
 
We actually have a demo all ready but it was recorded into sonar live - and .. well its live and now we want to go for a little better one - 
 
 
basically its for whatever bands would have a demo for - -- here that's us -- we sound like that and do top fourty 80s songs - you can look at our live videos and or listen to our demo -- or come see us play at  "that bar" -- we usually play some where once a month as it is - you know- it'll be used for ... a "demo" 
 
 
by the way - this isnt even "mastered yet" this is just a mix - and I am all ready working on Mix two of it from the suggestions - that being said -so I do have a vidion where tyhis mix stands and where I want to take it ... but also ...  we're not looking to be famous rock stars - we're just middle aged guys who get a kick out of playing 80s and its fun -  its covers

I dunno Paul. There is something about the drums. Maybe too much pumping. And the kick and snare sond like they were played in different rooms. They are not terrible but that's what grabbed me.
 
I did listen to mix 2. 

Overall it sounds pretty good here... the only two mix suggestions I would make would be to add a little edge to the rhythm guitar and perhaps remove some low-mids/mids from the snare/reverb so it reflects more of the highs (less boxy).
