Thank you Kev

Hey there!  Thank you for your commentary over on my post (Reimagine).
Re 'Shuttingslow'.
 
I'm a big fan of Mike Oldfield AND Alan Parsons. I feel you have your own 'like-minded' thing going on here on this one.  It's a great piece - very moody, very dark. I like it as a composition. 
 
Your instrumental tones are great, on their own, but there is a bit of mud going on in the mix. You'll have some 'dipping' to do here and there to fix that (usually in the 400hz range ... on almost everything except E-Guitars, usually - not a hard 'n fast rule). 
 
The drums - well, that's the deadest part of your mix.  The snare has got to bite and come up several natchos.  The high-hats - perfect where they are.  The Kick and Bass have to be a little more balanced but the bass itself might be a tad too high in the mix.  Try bringing it down a bit (volume) and freq-tweaking it or going for the saturation/distortion/harmonics enhancements to keep it 'in there' while the kick and the snare come up. 
 
I am also linking our 'trove' of (apparently 'world renown') mixing guides for you to pick and choose from.  Enjoy, and I hope they help. The one I created (resourcing various articles over the years) called, "Mixing and Frequency Guide - 2013" has been downloaded over 12,000 times over the last 7 or 8 years!  I don't even know who's doing the linking, but I get like, a hundred downloads of that a day!  No kidding.
