Remix: Progress
…So I’ve all but finished my second album now, but I wanted to revisit the first mix I did on it, because I was never really happy with it… I got just a little too close to it and ended up over-mixing it, I think… so I revisited it now that I have a bit of distance and perspective, and I pretty much remixed it from the ground up.
I think this is a pretty good improvement, and I think I’m just about ready to send the album off for mastering, but I just thought I’d post this up for any comments before I move on. Thanks in advance for giving it a listen - Let me know what you think:
NB: It starts very quietly...

Here's the old mix for comparison:

Well, it sounds very good to me, but it's a long time since I listened to the previous version, so it s bit difficult to compare. Can you re-post the first version?
From what I can vaguely remember, this version sounds a bit more dynamic and has more clarity, but I really need to listen to the previous version.

I stand by my previous comments. I much prefer the new mix. The old mix sounds over compressed and is tiring by comparison.

Later... The chorus is an earworm. It's very annoying.

Yeah, I think the mix is good. (Didn't listen to the earlier version - I'll take TW's word for it.)

Just had a listen through my phone, will check ony headphones later.
Would love to check on my monitors but blew a switch and am still waiting on a replacement rocker switch
Sounds lovely and crisp. Good sense of dynamics and lift in all the right places. Hats sound lovely and defined without being harsh, I need to get me a basic kit for recording purposes. Would love to hear your micing process for them, assuming you did in fact use a kit.
Lots of nice sounds in the palette and love the lyrics and storyline.
As ever, top job on the songwriting. I catch a whiff of classic Tom Petty in there somewhere, with a harder edge.
Good luck with the release I'll have to catch a copy when it's out.

Thanks TW, I agree that the old mix sounds bad by comparison.

Thanks Tim, that's great to hear. I'm actually not exactly sure which mics the drummer used when he recorded his drums for me. You can see a bit of his setup in this video from my last single "Too Much" https://youtu.be/A144u2gOrjg
FWIW, I actually used only the tiniest bit of the hihat close mic in the mix, so you're probably more likely mostly hearing the sound of the overheads.
