The cymbals are definitely overpowering the mix just a hair, but only on some parts, try automating down in places. The edits are tight which is really half the battle! love the vocal effect around 2/3 rds of the way through. overall not bad!

Yeah so here is the clip, i just made it today as a preview/updated studio clip to show what i'm capable of. Out of curiosity what would you guys change about the mix? I've learned so much over the past year scouring this forum & would love some feedback on what this board has taught me...

Yes! Please do this! i'm sick of my Mac G5 not being compatible with 70% of the plugs & software i wanna use!

bump. I know, of all you guys out there, one of you could guide me in the right spot for mixing these clean vox???

I would never do this now, as i take much more time evaluating bands before i except work from them, but when i first got my setup in 2009, i was recording a deathmetal band. quite literally the drummer came in and told me that he could not afford new drum heads for their full length record...

Probably the nicest dude on the face of the planet honestly. He produced my old bands full length.

Cool so here is the new mix. With the few critiques that i have received. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4650518/TNBLHB%28Master5%29.wav What i changed: Lowered the makeup on the snare comp so as not to be so abrasive. Sample blended the SM 91 Kick with a SS sample that wasn't quite as MET4L \m/...

Overheads are killing the whole mix, waay too loud. I can't really make out the kick drum at all. Id roll the lows off @60-80hz & highs @ 12k. maybe throw a multiband comp on the guitars to push down the lows as well. maybe dip @ 300. Your in the right ballpark i think just more tweaking. BTW...

@JEFFTD haha, yeah it was tracked in Jamie's basement lol. @Rattyfiend Thanks man, i think i bumped it up too much @ 200hz. ima post a remix tomorrow. thanks for the feedback! still looking for vocal mixing critiques, i don't feel like there sitting quite right. thanks!

Awesome dude, i really appreciate the feedback. I'll post an updated mix later on.

this mix reminds me of the first As I Lay Dying recordings. Good job vox sit very well. I'd be interested in your vocal chain also.

Mix sounds really good dude.

Hey everyone, i live in NC, just had a band come up from Alabama to track their 7 song ep with me. This is one of the songs of the record. It's the first "pop punk" mix i've done Looking for critiques on the mix. Especially tips for vocal mixing for this type of project. Thanks...

Sam said it, kick could use more body & guitars could be more edited during the "riffy" sections & maybe a little less in the fast breakdowns. overall great mix on this.

Sounds like you need to throw a limiter on your Vocal Bus. Squash it waaay down!
