I woke up early this morning and decided to begin mixing. Somehow, coming to it with clean ears, early in the morning gave me a fresh listen. I didn't hear all the problems that I had been listening to before.
So, I started out with the lead vocal. First I duplicated the track, then detuned and delayed the second track slightly to "full" it out. It also gave it a smoothness that it lacked before.
Then, since I was able to (with my new setup) A/B compare with a professional track, I got the guitars finally in the right placement! In all my mixes before, they've really been crowding things up. It was so nice to be able to hear a nice space for the vocals to breathe in. I also got the bass unmuddied and out of the way.
I'm not even close to having the mix fully done, but it's much better than it ever was before! And, in the process, I've made this track much more edgy and exciting. Look for the weedshare release in as little as a few weeks!
