[Chillout][WIP] Wake Up- need mixing advice

[DanGoode]

Hi all,

Can I have some advice on my mixing for this, especially the bass, sax/piano and the drums.


(this isn't my official page!)

Please be brutally honest, and mention anything else that comes to mind.

Thanks!

To be honest, beginning was kind of nice but when everything came together it sounded somewhat like a mess to me.

Drums need some more energy / presence.

I would widen up the harmonic saxes so they don't interfere with other instruments that occupy the same space.

The high piano in the intro needs a little more presence and maybe some compression or volume ride, but still keep the dynamics present.

I'm not good at giving constructive criticism.

Okay great, perfect advice. I guess the saxes interfere with the piano mainly. Drums have always been a problem Thanks!
