Hey all, many thanks again!
Wouter, a common problem I see in my mixes is "the vocals are on top of the mix, rather than in it" to paraphrase your comment. I'm trying to reform my ways! Thanks for the other mix comments as well, particularly the bass - I frankly spend 1/2 my time on a project mixing the bass and low end, and usually I still think my bass sounds like ass.
The upper sparkly stuff seems to take care of itself - the high end is low maintenance :)
Philz, thanks again, glad to know it's in the Goldilocks zone!
Starise, thanks very much! I've missed the marketability window by a few years, I'm afraid, but next time there is a mythical threat of apocalypse, I'll get a song out there pronto! And there
will be a next time. As for my mix being "clean" I'm actually going back under the hood on this one, I think I can do a little better. Your Celtic masterpieces have set the "clean mix" bar!
cheers,
-Tom
