Another. 2nd to last. One more coming tomorrow and that's the album.

I'll be tweaking tomorrow night and then it all goes to mastering.

Thoughts?

I noticed alot of breath rumble against the mic in the vocal intro. I would defintely get a pop filter and move back a bit if you havent alread, and tell the singer not to eat the mic
Maybe the crash's are too loud at the end, fighting the guitar lead a bit.

I can't hear anything else on my crappy internet computer speakers that seem to have a fixed "smiley face" response curve.

Other than that, nice! I like this song. Anyone in the band play the cello? I'm feeling that a long low pull through the chorus would thicken it up nicely?

Can you tell I have too much of an opinion? I'm no producer though, and it's a nice piece the way it is.

I've been wanting to try my hand at mixing something like this for a long time now.

yeah, that rumble thing has been a real pain. it's on all of the songs but i've automated or cut a lot of it out. we used a 421 which was the right mic for the vocal, but we tried to go all natural and let the singer just hold it and sing relaxed for some of the songs - should have used a pop screen and backed off a bit.

oh well.
