    How can I improve my mixes?

    That make sense. I guess that's why certain high level producers/mixers leave the bass, the guitars, and sometimes the kick wide open. They even get away without any lowcut or sidechain of some sort. However, some mixers roll off around 60hz on a very low tuned bass just because the kick was...

    How can I improve my mixes?

    Isn't that pretty much like the second example that I mentioned? Bass below the kick? I know that you can still have the kick with plenty of sub around 55hz with the bass wide open.

    How can I improve my mixes?

    Honestly, I never heard or met anyone who highpass the bass higher than 75hz. That includes tuning from E standard to Drop G. Since you find it too bassy, I suggest you just turn down the clean bass track instead of highpassing the bass around 100hz. I'm not familiar with that cab impulse. Is...

    How can I improve my mixes?

    Hi! I'm a hobbyist myself, but I can share some knowledge and experience that I've got from online courses and tons of practice. Highpassing the bass around 100hz is too much. Since you highpass the guitars around 100hz, then you would need the bass to support the low end below 100hz. If I were...

    LTD EC-400AT Guitar Tone Test

    Hey guys! I decided to upload this track since I haven't shared much of my own material. It's still a working title, but I want some feedback on the mix, the guitar tone, and the songwriting. Thanks!

    Mix Feedback: Katatonia - The Future Of Speech (Instrumental Cover)

    Ah, ok. I'll stick with the JCM800 for these guitar DIs. But I'm going to re-record them sometime in the future because I had to cut a lot of ringing noise in the 2-3k region. I think it was caused by the saddle of the top string. At the time, it wasn't noticeable, but over time it got worse and...

    Mix Feedback: Katatonia - The Future Of Speech (Instrumental Cover)

    Hey guys! Earlier this morning, I uploaded 2 remixes. One with the original amp setup (TSE808+JCM800 sim+Mesa Rectifier cab), and one with the 5150III sim + the same cab. I was trying to add top end on the JCM800, but then I was thinking maybe the 5150III would be better for a brighter sound...

    Mix Feedback: Katatonia - The Future Of Speech (Instrumental Cover)

    Yeah, the leads were a bit too loud. I think after I raised the eq notches to around -3db, the high-end on the guitars opened up, so they appear louder. Dunno if they're still too loud in the 2 remixes I just uploaded.

    Mix Feedback: Katatonia - The Future Of Speech (Instrumental Cover)

    Thank you! Yeah, the cymbals, especially the hi-hat, are a bit too high. So for the new mix, I lower the overheads a little bit, and I automated the hi-hat a bit lower in the chorus sections.

    Mix Feedback: Katatonia - The Future Of Speech (Instrumental Cover)

    Hey guys! Sorry for the late reply, I was kind of busy over the week. I just uploaded a new remix of this cover, so you can compare it with the first mix. I have 2 room/amb tracks. One stereo, one mono. The whole kit is from the Made of Metal EZX, except for the snare and the toms, which are...

    Mix Feedback: Katatonia - The Future Of Speech (Instrumental Cover)

    Yeah, I lowpassed my rhythm guitars around 12k. I'll try open it up more. I also lowpassed the amb/room tracks around 6k in order tame the cymbal wash due to compression. I think I was compressing them too heavily back then. Right now they're compressed around -10db gain reduction. Should I...

    Mix Feedback: Katatonia - The Future Of Speech (Instrumental Cover)

    - Original Mix - Remix Edited: I just uploaded a remix again. This might be the last one for now. I've recorded this cover a year ago, and I spent way too much time mixing it. I thought about uploading it sometime last year, but I'm still not happy with it. So I put it aside and started to...

    Scar Symmetry - Slaves To The Subliminal (Stems Content)

    Sorry for the necro-bump! Does anyone here still have the raw tracks for this song, and possibly the vocals (both cleans and growls)?
