An EP with Pitbull guitar/bass

[OliSam]

I don't think the vocals should be forward.
I interpreted this music as moody-kinda-soundtrack-chill stuff and it sounded ok by me.

You're the producer so who are we to argue

Edited to add. Once you have a track where you think it needs to be your ears will probably be tired, let it rest for a few days and go and record something new / go for a drive / dig the garden or whatever.

Then go back to it and put the one track on repeat and just listen, if nothing jumps out at you you're done but I can guarantee that if there is something minor in there you've missed before it will be sending you mental after half a dozen spins.

Do you A/B you recordings through your mixing rig with a commercial product that has the feel and production qualities you are looking for.

Make sure you mix at volumes where you could hold a normal conversation over the top of it, everything sounds better and fuller when played loud

Also make sure you play each version of the mix through a number of different systems, your mix speakers and headphones should be very flat.
a. mix setup
b. home stereo
c. car stereo
d. phone/iPad earbuds

Probably telling you nothing you haven't heard before but these are all pearls of wisdom I have received over time from recording professionals.

( quite possibly I don't listen this wisdom as closely as I should because I still get bruises when I get another set of ears to have a listen and critique )
