Mixing Engineer & Artist
Beloved QQ'ers I need your help! Is this mix fine or do I gotta move around some stuff?

Could you please clarify? If you're talking about the brightness/warmth of the sound, that's intended. Do I need more bleed-in between channels? Bring stuff out to the center of the room? With Bonana, everything bled into every channel, with this I was taking a different approach.However, it doesn't quite have that 'full' sound that I find so endearing on TGB.
Brightness: If you want this track to have more brightness than TGB, then OK. It’s an artistic choice.Could you please clarify?

Looks like it only works on stuff like the Apple TV, which I didn't realize, hence the FLAC posting.I'd back off on the brightness on the sax (dynamix eq approach on the bitey area if it's recorded that way) and bring in drum detail. Perhaps there's some percussion or drum kit elements that could wrap around?
I still don't know how to coax 5.1 out of Youtube in a browser... Is there a Firefox addon? Hope it doesn't involve the C-word one. Google searches keep trying to sell me an Apple TV. I don't want one. But 5.1 from Youtube - even if stepped on - sounds amusing. Is this more copy protection gone wild crap I've stumbled into again?
I think it's a streaming stick/Apple TV thing only, which I didn't know. You CAN download the file off of YouTube with the 5.1 audio intact, but no native desktop streaming apparently.Strictly flat. Aim is to hear any recording as intended. Pretty well dampened room too. My mixing and mastering room.
Disagreement with my bright comment doesn't shock me. I can see that being intentionally in your face. I've heard brighter too. The juxtaposition of the forward bright sax with the subdued and room heavy sounding drums called attention to me.
Take that for good, bad, or out to lunch, as you please!
Is that seriously Youtube doing an Apple hardware-only thing?! Christ on a freezer pop is there anything that isn't a grift nowadays?! So... how do you work around that and grab the audio in a browser? Is there some whitelist file to edit again? Perhaps someone made a friendly script? Sorry for the digression there!
Ah, that's intentional, thematically.The juxtaposition of the forward bright sax with the subdued and room heavy sounding drums called attention to me.
