Hey everyone,
I've been lurking around on this forum for quite a few years now without posting much as my knowledge of recording/mixing etc was pretty limited. Throwing my opinions into threads would have been a bad idea.....best to leave it to the experts to give tips i say!
So i've absorbed as much info as i could from all the great guys on this forum and used it in my home studio to record and mix my own songs. I've just recorded a track for my new band called Captured and wanted to share it on here to get some feedback.
I know for certain that this isn't a perfect mix by any standards....in fact, i'd be worried if i ever got to a stage where i thought a mix of mine was perfect cus then there wouldn't be anything else to achieve or strive for right?! so, bearing in mind that this mix could be better and is most certainly flawed, i'd love to get some opinions from you guys about my first attempt at a mix and what i could do to improve it.

I also know this isn't a metal track and so maybe isn't the usual type of sound/mix that normally gets posted on this forum, so if you're unsure of where i'm heading with the style then check out refused on spotify....maybe a track like 'the shape of punk to come'.
thanks!
