Hey man - listened through to this - I didn't know this song before I saw this post but I did listen to the original after I listened to yours. -- Compared to the original, I would say there is more punch to your mix, HOWEVER, the tonal balance between the guitars/bass/drums just doesn't sit...

Hey NQ -- There's definitely a lot of modern metal on UM, so don't leave bc of that! Your mix is really good. Super professional. The only things I would mention are there's a bit of muddiness to the low growls in some sections like around 2:30 (maybe just scoop some low-mids on them)...

Any thoughts? Plz? Thanks!!

Hey guys! There have been some amazing mixes posted lately. Much respect to all of you out here! This is a track from an "EP" that my friend and I have been working on for quite some time. There are 6 songs in total... It's been a great learning tool, though it's taking for...ev..er! ANY...

Sounds awesome. The guitar tones are fantastic. The part with the glass breaking turned out killer! I disagree with the other posts here - the vocals sound great - pretty similar to SS. Only thing that needs help on them is timing. Otherwise, tonally they are fine. Nice job!

Sounds good man!! Agree with the above comment - bass guitar is non existent but the tones you've selected for drums and guitars are quite good. I don't know if I would pan the guitars so wide on the "trade off" part around 0:52. Maybe bring them to like 40-50% R and L just for that bit. Just my...

Nice job man! The verb sounds awesome! Did you use multiple instances of it on the individual drums or bus toms/snare/etc to one verb?

Here's another mix. This time, I tried fattening up the snare. I basically just added some EQ around 200 Hz and then pulled back just a couple dB in the 1k range. I added some 50 Hz to the kick and some high end. The guitars are way different - I added a ton of gain to them. Hopefully is a...

Yeah I know what you mean - though my POD can produce some good tones, it doesn't necessarily work like an amp does... Anyway, I wanted to make sure each note is distinguishable instead of getting into some mushy mess. These kinds of tones are new for me. Gotta keep tweaking the knobs...

Hey all, I'm trying to nail down the final tones I want to use for this track. I'm trying to set a mood in the beginning - real ambient and stuff, then when the other guitars come in it's supposed to basically punch you in the face. It's coming along, but not there yet. Thoughts? The drums...

I agree with the above posts - there's just like nothing in the middle of this mix. I also agree that the drums are far back in the mix. Try not panning the guitars 100%.

These are freaking awesome!!! Please tell me you guys are going to write your own songs...

Thanks for replying! I've been working on thickening up the tone. I've got a lot of cabinet impulses at my disposal - I just haven't had time to sit in front of my computer long enough to mess with it again. Any thoughts on drum tone other than the kick? The room verb isn't too cheesy is it...

Bumpskis.... Ok I'll give a bit of my own opinion - maybe some people can comment as to whether they agree or not. I was trying to go for a huge room sound for the drums. Kinda like Baroness' Blue Record. I think I got that going at least a little bit, but there is room for improvement. The...

Hey guys. So, this is part of a tune I wrote about 10 years ago - when I was 17. My friend and I resurrected this song for an EP we hope to have done sometime next year. We are both extremely busy, and so can only work on things in short bursts. Anyway, this is a little something I cooked up...
