Good question! I just like how some saturation plugins work at low levels. They have this almost a low shelf boost type of quality to them when you drive at low levels. Makes stuff more 'solid' (for a lack of a better term). Your drum kit sounds a tad small (read: not compressed lol) for the...

Hi! No problem! Great mix, here's my feedback: There's a bit too much sustain on some of the drums - toms namely. Seems to me that the ambience track might be too loud and it's causing that. Absolutely love the guitar/bass section. Good work balancing those. Overheads could do with some...

Thank you! I like what you did with the center channel guitar at the beginning. If anything, it's just a tad too loud. Toms are barely audible! Especially the floor ones. Too many snare wires! That seems to be common for some reason. You guys should also check the phase for drums every once a...

Thanks! Here's what I thought of your mix! Really solid low end here. Some subs could come down, but just enough to get it to a commercial level just not to ruin anything. Good drums overall. I'd maybe turn some snare wires down just a hint. Honestly I'm short on feedback here. Some synth...

Too much bottom mic on snare! Either tune down the compression or turn the volume down by a lot. A good quick trick to make bottom snare mic more tamed is to have a low pass filter rather low. You only really want stuff below 8khz on there. Great work on guitars. Don't know if you did much...

Here we go! First I'd like to mention that no criticism in a subject such as music is absolute. I believe there are two types of criticism, the one that tries to embody and convey what's common and what you did against the norm (in the context of say, modern metal music production) and the one...

Thanks a lot guys! If you dig the song, please consider liking my Facebook page. There's also a whole album of this on Spotify, YouTube, iTunes, Apple Music and pretty much any platform you would use. :) BandCamp link: Also, I will give detailed feedback on every mix here later today. I...

Hey guys, it's time to get mixin'! Here are the raw stems for a song off of my debut record. Though there is no real incentive - like a price or anything - I will give you my honest, in depth feedback on the mix, and hopefully both of us can come out of the experience as better mixing...

Thanks guys! People seem to either absolutely love of hate my snare drums. The loudness is partly my own style and partly in the genre.

I used a Blackmachine B6 and a JP6 for guitars through an axe-fx, a Warwick Corvette for bass also through axe-fx, Superior Drummer and a few other sample packs for drums and a whole bunch of stuff for synth. Anything in particular you're interested in?

Thanks guys! Anything you'd like to know about it? Ask away! :)

Hey guys, I just released my debut record, "Shift". It can be streamed/bought on Bandcamp: Hope you dig it! If you have questions about mixing/mastering/production, feel free to ask - I'll be sure to answer everything in good detail.

So my band "Oceill" put up a new song yesterday and since the mix wasn't the best that I've done, I figured you could give me some pointers on what went wrong. Song is called "Balance": https://soundcloud.com/oceill/balance If you happen to like our music, go check out our Facebook page...

Thanks man, and unfortunately, I went straight in to the Axe-FX for this project so I don't have the DI's untouched anywhere. Same goes for bass guitar. I can upload the raw files for guitar and bass and the transcriptions (MIDI) for synth and drums if that's what you're after and/or if that...

Hi guys! I got this beast of a guitar, a Blackmachine B6, a few weeks back and decided to record something to show and see how it sounds. Ended up making a full cover off of a Periphery song, Muramasa. Tell me what you think!
