Hello. I did a mix out this one. This didn't come together as quickly as I expected. I had to spend some extra time with the drums; needed to create some kind of ambience for the cymbals and the provided snare wasn't cutting through enough so I added one of my own samples next to it. The guitar...

+1!

Hello! Here's my mix from this great tune! Without the vocals I wouldn't have bothered :) Near the end of the mix I added a snare sample to the mix since I just couldn't get the original sound as snappy as wanted; no matter how I compressed or EQ'ed it, it would always sound little woolly. I was...

Hello Nikolas! I had a sloshy ambience sample which I reverberated heavily (all the snare decay comes from that). Think about that Wallace guy ;) Also towards the end of mixing I decided to put a high pitched black beauty rimshot just underneath the original snare to get just a little bit...

Let's have a round of critique for couple of mixes: Very good separation here. However the midrange sounds a tad hollow whenever there's no vocals to fill it. You could probably help this featuring more midrange for the guitars in the instrumental sections. I felt the guitar panning...

Hello. Here's my mix from this song. It's been awhile since I mixed some metal. My personal preferences lie in the "Andy Wallace" direction so this might sound little bit more "natural" than many other mixes here (just about to start listening to different takes in this thread), but that doesn't...

Then some comments to other people's mixes... Sounds really good overall! Occasionally I feel that the low end gets little bit stuffed (especially during those instrumental breakdowns), but I guess that part of the Staub sound too. I felt the vocals sounded great at the verses but I...

Hello. Here my mix from this cool song. I used the original guitar tracks here (=no reamping), added some of my own (self recorded) drum samples to the kit to make the snare more punchy. Listened "Appetite for Destruction" little bit before commencing the mix :p The bass was really...

Hello. Here's my mix from the "Territory". It seems to be one the most tight played tracks of these all. The only track that caused any real serious problem was the main cymbal in the overhead tracks. God knows how many dynamic EQ:s I've got there to tame the cymbal resonances. I tried to...

Let's take a round of comments for the last couple of mixes posted: Right from the start it feels that there's way too much reverb on the kick and therefore no definition in it. I think a kick drum works best as a very short click with some bottom end in it,since most of the kick playing is...

Hello. I know I'm little late to the party, but here's my mix from this kickass tune! Didn't really take the ABR route, but instead tried to achieve sound heard on some A7X albums mixed by Andy Wallace: Somewhat natural, yet as punchy as possible. Only drum samples used is a snare sample...
