1 totally awesome song
2 could not get a mix this good myself
3 going to advise some, purely hoping you benefit from it.
4 again, a great mix & nothing wrong with it.
mix:
What would make the song stand out more, I think, is if the acoustic guitars would be a little less prominent.
There are so many great licks/bits in this song, but somehow they're just a little covered up, by the guitars which appear to be everywhere, would maybe be better to pan them hard, or move them out from the center a little (if they're in there)+ cut a little low freqs.
In general, to my ears, all the instruments are a little too much into eachother, a little seperation (pan,eq, mono maybe) would help.
Or perhaps, turning down the whole mix by 0.1 or 0.2db would help..not shure..
arrangement:
I think 'the hook' of the song is that energy vocal thing, and the awesome guitars really rock.
To make this stand out more, I would choose a real simple bass + drum pattern.
And I would choose to 'calm down' a little between the 'Thief' parts, to make it even more dynamic.
Then the bridge, starting very quiet and then building up to a short endpart, totally thrashing it and leaving listeners speechless (wtf was that ?).
anyway,
awesome song and
well mixed, looking forward to more songs !
