Haha, my friend suggested to swamp the lead in verb to create more atmosphere... I'll have to reevaluate because know I'm not sure quite 'how' much I really used... I attempted to drive the bass a bit more, I can agree it needs more power and tone!
During my TRYING to cut sibilance (his original tracks were incredibly so) I think I cut some of the brightness.
(In reality, I more-or-less produced this track FOR him in his vision. He wanted this big, atmospheric sound with these deep sub kicks and stuff, but I'm not quite sure I did him justice entirely- I didn't even get the sound
I wanted)
Thanks Rimshot, I made a promise I'd go back and make a bit better mix before our bigger release. Thanks for the pointers so far, guys- keep em' coming!
