    Thanks for the mixes and for the advices guys! Thanks! I tell why it is the way it is. I wanted the album to have a "raw" feel to it, that's why I didn't put too much extra vocals, extra loops, extra guitars etc. Almost all the songs, apart from a few things here and there, were made with a...

    Thanks man, really appreciated! Love the new guitar tone and the mix in general. The only thing that I've heard that sounded a bit odd, is that the voice is "too dynamic". For example from 2:00 to 2:00, even in the same sentence there is a drop and then a rise in its volume.

    Love the Herbert, maybe my favorite amp! Really aggressive and heavy version of the mix, I would say almost "90's industrial" especially with the fuzz on the vocals, it reminded me of Ministry/NIN. Super cool job! :D

    Feel free to do whatever you want/like :) I like the approach of layering more and more instruments as the song progress, but I have to admit that I wasn't able to catch the added synth/organ parts the first time I heard it, they are more more noticeable in the second chorus because in the third...

    Thanks to you, glad you liked it! Yes, the drums were played on an e-kit. Roland TD4 or TD6, I don't remember correctly. Loved your mix, it has a similar approach to mine, especially for the drum "ambience", really big and boomy, loved it :D I've also liked a lot the filtered/megaphone effects...

    Really heavy mix, I like it a lot! Actually on the Rooms I have only some basic eq and compression. I've used a Parallel Drum channel with an 1176 style aggressive compression, and ValhallaRoom for Snare Reverb. In solo they sound really "roomy" but in the mix they are ok.

    No, you're not an idiot, the fact is that I've heard this song a million times so I am able to catch instantly if something is wrong :) Ok, some thoughts about your mix, take it as a subjective advice, not as something negative: The order of importance that you have in your mix is as follows...

    Maybe you used the midi files instead of the audio for the drums, and the midi mapping is wrong, but in all the Choruses the Cymbal hits are completely gone, there are only Kick and Snare.

    Hey man, thanks for the nice words, really appreciated! Let me wear my Gandalf's hat and tell you the best suggestion I could give you: when importing or exporting the tracks, check, double check and triple check if everything is correct. I've also included the video of the song. Referencing to...

    Really dig the guitar tone, really aggressive especially on the single notes! Great job!

    Thank you, glad you liked it! :) Be aware that the drums are out of sync and I think that there is something wrong in your midi mapping because there are too many snare hits.

    Try this Impulse, maybe you will like it :)

    Yeah but the direction is right :) I think that you used too much of the Distorted channel for the bass, that's why is a bit harsh on the high-mids. On the album and on the track I've split the bass track in 3 different channels. The DI to took care of the Lows, a reamped Ampeg SVT track for...
