Original Song:
First real completed mix of this -- trying for a real "sway" kinda feel (hips moving) -- laying back - trying to get a rolling groove going (even though I'm using Superior Drummer). Still working at achieving an Americana kind of rock feel - a little Southern, and little California - a little Nashville. trying to develop my vocabulary here. Any thoughts or comments welcome.

There are a few exposed elements in the mix - hoping for some direction there to help me with it. As far as genre - also looking for some direction there. Where does this dwell?

Hmmmm....

I know that many people like to check mixes in their cars, but I've been in more than a few newer cars where the low end has been heavily hyped.

Are you sure you can trust that audio system? I mean, I guess you could, as long as you were referencing your mixes to a commercially released CD - if your mixes have the same amount of "hyped" low end that a commercially released CD would - something similar to what you do style-wise...

If anything, I'd try to give a listen through a pair of Auratones - or Avantone's - which are the modern re-issues of the old 5C 's (which were on top of almost every studio console for over 40 years).

I think Chris has a pair... (audiokid ) or, at least he did have a pair at one time - and I'm pretty sure he trusted them as a "reference" monitor.

FWIW
