    New version, with Catharsis' Impulses... made the bass a lot more grimey, overall the mix seems to have a quality that gives me a headache... not necessarily the desired effect! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7913569 Next step is to do some drum replacement I think, not happy with the...

    Thanks for the tips et al, I'll be sure to check out those programs. Yes the guitars are quad tracked, the usual 100 - 80 panning thing going on. Maybe I should try lowering the volume of the 80 panned guitars, I read that can help the sound somehow... Cheers for the myspace add as well...

    I will look into using impulses, any suggestions for a starting point, any freeware etc that is worth a look? It's tempting to take up the offer of putting the audio up for others to have a go at mixing, however then everyone will know how shoddy the source tracks are! At least I can mask all...

    Yeah I thought about the reverb on vocals thing, maybe that would give the song that additional something i feel it needs... Agree with the kick sample, having difficulties eq-ing it to give the required 'click', so maybe replacement is the way to go. i'll check out the sticky 'drum sample...

    New mix, tried to do something with the kick drum, and added more gain to guitars... raised vocals volume... not sure if the guitars are too thin now... i could be at this for some time! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7850808

    extreme death/black-metal (Behemoth like) - Preampus Distortus, S2.0

    Yeah this sounds great! Now all you need is those multi-layered death grunts to nail the Behemoth sound perfectly! Although it would be cool to come up with a new twist for the vocals to make this stand out from the crowd even more...

    Again, cheers for the positive comments, I am into death metal more than black metal but due to trying to keep band members happy (when there was an actual band) I wrote in a lot of black metal stuff to mix it up a bit. When I've got all the songs mixed I'll put them up, it's like ADHD metal cos...

    Cheers for the comments, I see what you mean about more gain on the guitars, i tried this using the guitar amp simulator in Adobe Audition and it transforms the whole track! Gotta remix now to compensate for the change in tone etc, but I think it will sound loads better. Not sure how to give...

    Hi all, I'm new here (first post...) but already I've found a whole ton of amazing advice and ideas! Anyway, my first attempt at mixing / mastering a song from my band, it's taken me quite a long time to get to this stage but it's slowly getting where I want it to be... the musical style is...
