mixing contest, paid job offer, rock music

Heres my rough version with no mastering. Theres a few things I would still like to work on, like a little verb on the Acoustic guitars, mix the drums properly (I used your drum mix), and work on the vocal levels a little bit. I don't have much experience mixing vocals, but I'm working on it. I might even re-amp the guitars. I'm using the "Shure" guitar tracks. I really like this song, the vocals are cool. The line "I have no more fun" had me laughing, it just sounds funny. In a good way though.

Apologize that I do not respond right away, but right now my provider does supply problems the Internet ... I decided to share my comments on some mixes:
a - nice drums, those “yeah” they also fit in at the beginning (the effect)
b - cool distorted guitar
c - nice vocals
d - nice strings
e - a cool vocal effect on the verses
f - nice acoustics, a cool effect on vocals 01:42 (aaaaaa) and 03:10 (but little too much)
g - Cool choruses (globally)
h - nice acoustics ,
i - a cool delay on the “generation” in the chorus, an interesting effect on vocals in verse and solo perhaps also nice

Hmm I actually like mine the most...sorry for being so modest :D

If I had to choose a mix other than mine it would be 'G'.

Perhaps you should make a poll so people can vote if you can't decide for yourself.


BTW, some of you guys really squashed the whole thing bad :puke: I'm usually not the one to complain about going overboard with compression/limiting/etc. but this is plain wrong, especially given the style of the song.
