The Conversation [pop mix for fun]

[ADRSean]

I did this mix from the site mixoff.org for the song "The Conversation" by Polydream.

Never done this style before, be harsh.

47 reads no comments? lol any thoughts?

I think when those distorted guitars come in they should be a bit louder and everything should have a bigger sound to them. The kick sounds too small throughout, imo.

I think the guitars need a little more high end and need to be a bit louder. The vocals were bugging me though. They sound good but was there a filter on that mic?

IMO, the vocal needs a deesser and 1 or 2 db upward.
Bass is too present (47") but it could be my BX8a monitors, very generous in this range .
I like the kick and snare, and drums in general.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm new to this to be honest, been mixing for a couple of years, but so far have only done a metal album and a screamo band.

This is an updated mix, that i'm quite proud of more so. The vocal filter sound i'm not sure what you're talking about, I didn't run any filters on it or anything. This mix has re-edited guitars, a tighter sounding drum kit (in my opinion). I ran a de-esser on the vocals but it's not seeming to help, cause I certainly hear the problem.
