Hi Jörgen, Thanks for giving that mix a listen. The drummer used a very nice older set of Pearl drums (88), they are made from berchwood. If you'd like more info on his kit, I can get it for you.

All of these sound completely reasonable to me, and I'll run them past the person I'm mixing the tune with. Funny how things sometimes work, the two instruments most being commented about are the instruments played by the two guys mixing the tune... he's a drummer, and I'm a bass player, he wanted the bass further up in the mix, and I wanted his snare further up too... I think both of us were purposely not trying to spotlight our own instruments, but we could possibly of somewhat cross-spotlighted each others. Thanks again for the feedback.

However, as a drummer, were it my own set, I'd ask that the snare be brought down a smidge or two to put it in balance with the rest of the set. It has a pitch, miking and probable compression that brings in out front and center in your face, equal to or in front of the lead singer's voice, and I kept finding my attention drifting to that artifact of the piece. I really got off on the bass playing and the choral part, as well as the guitar solo. But it's a very "Radio Friendly" without being squished to death with over compression mix--a true rarity these days and i liked the panning of the cymbals, and the spaces for all of the instruments--the snare though.

This is the first mix we've done together, and we're both at the point with this mix where we arn't sure what else needs to be done (if anything.) I recorded the bass part for the tune using Sonar/CakeTalking in my homestudio, so hopefully this type of request isn't to far off topic for this list. Any suggestions/observations would be very much appreciated. Here's the link to the tune. "Hold On" Thanks, Steve
