Roel,
Got the file thank you.

Hmmmm....I have A/B'd the two cuts about 15x's now. I do like the clarity on the vocals of your mix.....like everyone else giving their honest feedback here....and as usual for me going against the grain. I have to say I prefer my original mix to my ears. The same as when we debate over board sounds, it's all subjective.

Now I do like how you brought in the acoustic guitar later in the cut, that was cool, think I'll steal that idea from you on the remix if you don't mind.

What I hear in your remix critique wise:
I assume you're using Hall reverb on the instruments? The electric guitar to me sounds like it's playing in a different space to me. The echo I hear from hall reverb on the drums I don't care for much to my ears and is why I don't use hall reverb. Overall to me the mix has a harsher more treblie feel, as opposed to a warmer mid/bassie feel to me which I prefer. It's one of the reasons I prefer the warmer Yamaha boards over the Korg harsher sound too.

This in no way says your mix is bad, quite the contrary it's a great mix, just preference.

I tend to mix mine to a warmer small club mix, (I guess too many years of playing them) yours is a more open airy concert hall type mix, again to my ears.

All seem to prefer your mix here though, so what do I know anyway.

Thanks for doing this and I am going to borrow/steal a couple of your ideas here though.

About the stereo imaging, I'm not really sure without further exploration what to make of it. Not normally doing it all this way, I'm sure I could have should have done something differently. I believe it was something in the mp conversion that screwed it up and exporting from Sonar. All tracks were recorded on the Tascam stereo seperate tracks with stereo panning. Then I re-recorded each track stereo panned hl & hr into Sonar.

Thanks for putting the effort into this and I am sure all including myself have benefitted from it.

FWIW....my wife liked that she could hear my voice better on your mix.
