Nice collabs chaps! Ditto on the high end of the mix, it's somewhat piercing.

nice composition, but that guitar in the first half is too loud, it's clipping I think or overdriving. And that reversed cymbal? at 3:21 for example is majorly over compressed, super sibilant I'm afraid. Those things should be easy to weed out, and you have a great chill piece here. . .
 
The electronic elements, the delay patches, the filtery things, all great!!!
 
I think her lead vocal could have just a hair less reverb perhaps, or add some more predelay so her words can escape legibly before they are washed into ether.
 
I look forward to v2, it's a great start!
 
cheers,

Finally getting around to listening to Feel Your Mind...
 
I'd just listened to your latest, so I thought I had my headphone level set comfortably. At forty seconds in I had to rip my earbuds out because the high frequency part, in particular, was so loud it hurt. I think Tom picked up on this too in his post. It happens again at 2:30... I think that effect could do with some serious taming Adrian.
 
The ending was a bit abrupt too and I thought I'd be listening to the effect tail fading out. But that may have been your intent there.
 
Other than that, this is a great piece of work and a marvellous collaboration.
 
cheers

My apologies for hurting your ears. I am revisiting the mix over the weekend. I've already made some tweaks to those effects and will post the revised version shortly.

Aye, Adrian... Apologies... I should have read the other comments first and I would have known. I generally don't read the previous comments so as not to "colour" my thoughts while I am listening.
 
I look forward to the re-mix
 
cheers

Ask and you shall receive?

Hi Adrian,
 
That is a much better mix, to my ears. Those cutting hi frequency parts have now been well tamed. I also downloaded the song too, which is slightly better quality at 320kbps MP3. Would have been nice to hear an uncompressed WAV but I know, from experience, that it takes a long time to upload high quality files (I only upload wave files now, even for twenty minute long tracks, but I don't mind the wait).
 
cheers

Thanks Andy. I ended up changing the reverb entirely on the vocals to make them clearer and reworked the gain staging for the guitar tracks.

Lovely track, nice and chunky well balanced mix. :)
The snare is rather dry and feels a bit off in the intro, but works much better later in the song.
 
Great work!
