oooo some really interesting sounds on this, lots going on.

This is a rollercoaster of a track.

Holy crap that string arrangement is bonkers, soooo friggin good! Superb work Beautiful song, I love the perspective shifts in the lyrics. It's an absolute journey. Also very cool to hear your vocals in more of a live band setting, giving off some Radiohead vibes while still being very much your own thing.

I hope it's okay for me give some tips regarding the mix. Firstly I'd love to hear a bit more low-mids in the guitars. Especially for those heavier sections there could be a bit more connection between guitars and bass. For drums, try panning the hi-hat and ride a bit more outside the center (at least, if they were individually mic'ed). Place them so they are roughly panned the same as they are on the drumkit, together with the toms. Also a little plate style verb on the snare can go a long way, especially if you accentuate it a bit in those heavier sections.

Anyway, you're already hitting a great vibe and making it "technically" better could also take away from that, which would be a shame. Just wanted to give some tips in case it helpse and because I think it's and awesome track that deserves all the love and care it can get.

Hey dusty! Always glad to see you in me comments and thanks for the hype! I’m also so stoked on the arrangement and you definitely figured me out with the Radiohead vibe. I’m absolutely a sucker for Kid A and honestly string quartet arrangements of their songs lol

thank you for the advice too! I’ll try to play around with bringing up those low mids for the guitars and panning the cymbals. It gets difficult thinking of panning when I have all the strings panned too and I don’t want them to clash. I could do some fudgery and use something like masker which side chains frequencies out so the strings could punch through the cymbal hits maybe…hmmm

Sweet! I wouldn't worry too much about strings and cymbals clashing, they should be able to live next to eachother without much problems. It's more that the cymbals can disappear behind the vocal if they are centered.
