Hello everyone

Robert Hammon – The Elephant

There were a lot of problems in the mix, poorly recorded vocals, terrible piano, bad guitar in the verse. Some things got better, some worse.
Back vocals did the last and it seems wrong.
Perhaps the mix turned out to be too bright, but in the overheads we managed to make a cool groove!))

Hello Vlad, I like your mix, in general the instruments are well treated and find their place. For my taste, the drums would need to be better integrated with the rest of the instruments and at some point I noticed that the toms are too far back compared to the rest of the drum elements. PS: when I play your mix in the DAW, the master is constantly clipping around 4 dbs or more and this doesn't happen to me with the rest of the mixes. Perhaps it would be a good idea to insert a limiter with the True peak set to -1.

Regardless of what the meters say, it sounds like a loud and agressive mix to me, so good job. The synth pads are pretty loud

Hey Vlad, good mix! The bass and the guitars on choruses could be brighter and the vocals a little bit more inside the mix ;P

Hi Vlad, good kick and snare, bass guitar a bit undefined. I am not a fan of the effect on the lead vocal, and sometimes the synths are in the way of the vocal. Vocal is a bit dark.
