yes sidechaining bass with kick ussually helps to add some headroom, sometimes sidechain guitars with snare, or vocal also works.

There is some ugly distortion (reminds me some sort of bitcrusher) going on overheads noticeable even in the mix. Guitars are lacking some mids imho. And i would like to hear more bassguitar. Otherwise it is not bad. I use master limiter not taking more than 6dB ussually for this kind of music...

Hi, I finished mix and master of EP of young Czech metalcore band. you can listen to it here http://bandzone.cz/ghostface For guitars I used TSE 808, TSE X30, LePou LeXTaC, LePou LeCTo, LePou Hybrit (song Deserts) and LePou LeCab with Catharsis impulses. For drums (kick, snare and toms) I...

Hi, I've finished recording and mixing of three songs on EP of Czech local band called Caffeine. We will appreciate any feedback. Thanks! listen here http://www.myspace.com/caffeineband or here is flash player with better quality sound (but Czech language on the rest of the page)...

Thank you for reply! Yes, you are right, there should be some more lowend. Perharps I will have to clean up some low-mids bands to make space and add more bass guitar. I tried also to pull off some high mids, but guitars lost some of their nice resonance and bite. Maybe adding some shine on...

Hi guys. I recorded this band of friends of mine last weekend. We recorded three songs for EP and it took one and half day. Everything was happening in their practice room (approx. 5x5m). Now I'm in the mixing process and I would like to make it the best. So I would really appreciate if some...

well, unfortunatelly I'm allready in the loudness war -the less experienced musicians the more loudnes they want :))) But you are definitelly right about this: ...mastering is too loud, when you feel like turnign down the music. mastering is great, if you fell like turning the music up!...

Thank you, you are right about that hihat. Limiting on 2nd bus is a bit more agressive, but I compared it to some references from this gengre (Augustus Burns Red for example) and I found way more squashed tracks:)

Hi, I'm mixing young Czech metalcore band. They are not very experienced yet, so their playing is not very tight and I had only few hours to set up the mix. Do you think that sound is ok? Or what are the worst flaws on this mix? Thank you for replies...

I prefer Bogner+Marshall

the tone is huge and fat, but flat and without any dynamics - that is Metalzone's signature...

really too loud ride, no bassguitar at all, overall mix is too compressed and flat, general lack of mids and lower mids, too much room on vocals. Kick is nice and snare is ok.

Sounds great. I hear no significant problems at all and I like the production. Well, hard to judge from myspace stream, but on the other hand if it sounds good on myspace, than it will probably sound good on every iPod ;-) and of course great music...

Another reamp and "mix" with Wagner Sharp 2. http://pc204c.fzu.cz:8080/~ezone/amorph/koch119-MartinLinda.mp3

SigmundFreud33: Yes, I noticed it and on some other places are guitars slightly out of tune. But after amp-processing it hides a bit. And who cares in this kind of music? ;-)
