    Metal Mix (Bullet For My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, etc) - Opinions Needed!

    the overall mix sounds great man. the snare grew on me. the only thing that seems weird to me is the perspective of ride...is it physically on the same side of the kit as the hihats? anyway, i've been following your work on gearslutz since the playdates stuff and i'm always impressed.

    Ambient Rock Mix (Like Circa Survive / Saosin)

    thanks! i actually had some first-gen rokit 6s before my hs80s. upgrading made a HUGE difference...it was like someone lifted blankets off of my speakers and my mixes started to translate better to other systems.

    thanks guys. i agree the bass is a bit hot. i had just tracked it before bouncing that mix so my perception was probably a bit distorted. the drums are completely programmed (i never do this...but the band's drummer was on tour). cymbals are one of the sturgis packs...emmure, i believe. kick &...

    Powerful metalcore mix for a client (kinda Elitist/Misery Signals/FTFD)

    Sounds tight as fuck on my HS80s. I *kind* of want a tiny bit more low end from the bass but it's not crucial at all because the current mix translates really well from quiet to loud listening volumes. Great job. Care to share more details on the overall processing?
