In the beginning it sounds unproportionally loud. Allthough it seems a little mid heavy, considering the arrangement it's not necessary to change that drastically. But it also sounds little noisy here and there. Picking, changing fingers,... A tad more attack wouldn't hurt, but again is just a question of preference. Now, having brutally slogged the bass, there is much more positive to be said about this piece. The arrangement is very pleasant. A good composition of all the frequency bands with enough room to spare in most of them. The percussion and arpeggio sounds are beside the ordinary and really caught and held my attention. You ended with a nice turn of phrase there. :) Overall, there is a swift, light-hearted flow. Thanks for sharing!

I agree that at first the bass sounds like it might overpower, but then makes sense as the song progresses. I like the acoustic guitars, nice touch, good playing. For some reason it feels like at some point some pleasant female vocals should come in, perhaps just some light backing choruses or oohs and aahs. Tim.

The sample sound was toned done nevertheless so as not to sound too obtrusive. The mastering chain was modified to allow for a punchier mix. Same link. Cheers.

I also like much better. It is such a bright song. Made by a guy usually not-so-bright and more sombre. I hope he'll be doing more in that vein :) As a sidenote I got the linVST working with wine-staging and as a result of that, there are some Voxengo plugins at the mastering stage, like a dynamic EQ for instance. Cheers.

Overall, it sounds like there is more subtle compression, much closer to the first version, though the EQ'ing feels more balanced. Not sure if you tweaked that too. I know the AVL drumkit and use parts of it. I can't hear the the low end very well, but my monitors' bottom end isn't that good. :( In comparison, I do like this mix best, since it has the openness of the first mix, while dispensing with the too prominent frequenciies, with the added tightness introduced in the second mix. A good demonstration why it's worth it to return to a "finished" work and reopen the case.

The idea of having a new kick was a very good one. I'm glad I tried it. Might not be as loud as it could but then I did not want to redo the playing of any other instrument to go along with a more pronounced kick. Cheers.
