Hello everyone!

Here’s my version of Bruks – “Kak Tvoi Dela, Vova?”

https://drive.google.com/file/d/13BMVdq16NtMUGDCxY5zky1u3lQ_nJIWq/view?usp=sharing

It is my first mix that I am posting here, so I would be very happy to hear what you think.

I did everything in Ableton Live with stock plugins. A lot of my time went into balancing the guitars and keyboards, which overlap with one another and with the vocals.I had to make some arrangement calls to quiet down the keyboards and/or one of the guitars at some places, pan them accordingly, etc.

Thanks for all your comments!

Cool mix. I notice a big sonic jump between the intro and the rest of the song. Check that. Based on the mix as it is, I think you could remove some 1-4k from the guitar on the right to make it sound more connected to the overall mix. A bit more clarity on the kick and just a few balanced fixes here and there will make your mix smoother.

Hey Emrah Arbak, I agree with Leigh on the transition between the intro and the rest of the song, and I would lower the bass and turn up the vocals.. nice mix!

Hey @Emrah Arbak , After the intro loudness, the rest of the mix is pretty good. Try muting the bass and listening to the mix, to see what it's stomping on.
