The cymbals sound too harsh to me. I'd try taking out some frequencies between 2.5k and 6k! Apart from that, the toms could use a little more punch, try boosting some 8-9k! Rest sounds solid :thumbsup:

Sounds fine to me, but the guitars seem too dominant. I'd turn them down a couple db and see if that helps!

Dude, definitely get Reaper, I use it too because it's so affordable but still has everything you would want from the "big" DAWs. Here's my advice for you: Don't overthink this shit. Mixing is, simply put, all about three things: levels, frequencies and dynamics. You take care of the first...

Yeah, this is definitely better. Still feel like the guitars could use more midrange, but if you prefer the kind of sound you went with, go for it! On a side note, did you edit the guitars or not? They do not sound tight. Getting them tighter will also help make them sound "bigger". :thumbsup:

How did you take out the bass exactly? Did you just turn it down on the amp? Or did you highpass them? I feel like it's important that your guitars still have a good amount of low end. In the mix, a highpass filter anywhere between 90-170 hz will do the job and help gel the bass and guitars.

Hey man, I agree with everything that was said by kapu. I'd definitely revisit the guitars, they sound very thin and trebly. Now I don't know what kind of amp sim or real amp you use, but try an amp that has more body and more midrange. The rest of the mix seems fine to me!

Hey man, this song takes me back straight to 2008! :D reminds me a lot of KSE and AILD. As for your mix, I feel like the kick and snare stick out too much and do not really fit the rest of the mix - the kick could use a little less click and a little midrange to compensate. The snare sounds...

Hey man, this is some really interesting stuff! Gonna give this mix a shot once I find the time for it. Thanks for the stems!

Hey man, thanks for your feedback! Just took a listen to your mix. I actually really like how your kick cuts through without being overly clicky. I think your guitars and clean vocals could benefit from some more brightness to make the mix a bit more exciting :thumbsup:

These stems are so good, aren't they? Really enjoyed mixing this track! Thank you so much for the feedback! Personally, I like a lot of low end on my kicks, but I'll look into the mix again. Gonna try to sidechain kick and bass as well as some multiband compression on the master track to make...

Hey guys, I've been a lurker for a while now (shame on me!) but today I decided to change things up and give you this mix / master of one of the multitracks Brian Hood has recently shared. Pretty satisfied with how this turned out, but any feedback is highly welcome!
