Mick, I'm still not tired of the song!
I thought I'd post a couple of reviews from offsite. I've asked a couple of people at the German site (via PM) to listen to the final version and tell me what they think. This is the first reply I got (translated):
====================
Seriously - I think I've listened to the third version by now, and I really could not find a lot to complain. I thought the first version was pretty good already, mixing-wise.
From my point of view it's actually just individual, subjective criteria of each listener that make the difference.
You could point out the slightly fizzeling crashes in the new version, but that has a lot to do with the fact that I don't like crashes that much anyway. For others who come more from the hard rock/heavy genre, that should be absolutely ok.
Well, I think the mix, as it is, is totally radio compatible. You can really leave it like that.
But I'm really not the final authority for such questions and with my monitoring system. Maybe let Karumba listen to it (
note: Karumba is a
professional mastering engineer and a member at that site too) .
But here is my quick "criticism":
- There may be some room for optimization on the low end. On my monitoring system it sounds like it has slightly too much mid range/heighs. But nothing dramatic.
- Partially defuse the crashes on the high mids.
But don't forget that I'm listening on Behringer speakers!
Other than that: Neither the song nor the mix have any serious issues. Good job!

Steffen
