I listened to 3rd mix, great lyrics! Vocals are really good, the female vocals adds a great dynamic to this. Mix sounds great to me, maybe I would raise the synths up a bit and let them spotlight a little in the song?
Great song VHS!

Mix 4 is in the OP. Direct link since we're onto page 2: https://www.therecordingrebels.com/down ... hp?id=6182

Snare up.
Kick down.
Panning of the kit reversed to put more weight on the right channel during the verses
Synth and randomized drums up in the intro

The drums seem a little muted...could the snare use some snap or something?
I don't hear cymbals...is that a conscious decision?
Cheers

Yeah, Steve - I think you're just about there on Mix4. Still think your snare could come up a touch.

I'd like to give you a rhythm guitar part for a song one day - I'd like to hear a more "traditional" crunch tone hard-panned against your abomination.
I'm way too busy at the moment though - I've owed RayC a lead track for about a month now... I've even written most of it, I just haven't had a chance to practice and record it!

There's barely any cymbal there (except hats)

I asked for "surf" drums but didn't provide any real feedback beyond that.

I'll see what I can do about the snare tho.

@JD01 I'd love to have you do some guits on a song! When do you think you'll have a gap in your schedule? and I'll figure out a song to do then

Honestly - I've no idea. Its not like I have a busy recording schedule. Its just life. That being said - for your stuff I'd basically just be doubling what you're doing on the abomination but just in my style so its not like I'd have to write something. Probably wouldn't take me long.
