The Art of Mixing...What a MYSTERY!

[themakers]

As we all know, the art of mixing takes a lifetime to master. Pan this sound here...compress this kick there...MADNESS!

My main reason for this post is to get some feedback on a particular mix that I did. Please give me your honest critiques and I'll return the favor.

It's a good mix. The only thing I don't like it the hi-hat. I like them to be played, those sound like you sequenced them with a mouse or something. It has a decent balance. There are the arps and maybe a bell or some kind of synth piano playing at the same time, I would definitely pan that synth piano so it's not up the middle with the arp. Some things are too upfront for my taste though.

Makes sense. I'll definitely try that and see how it sounds. thanks for the good advice.
