    Mixing time, oldschoolish death metal song.

    Thank you very much! I agree about the snare, it is way too compressed. I haven't modified the velocities at all, but my multiband/limiter settings are doing some harm to its sound. In fact I must find a way to create more space for the snare in the mix, cause I don't want to change all my...

    Hey RaNk, thanks very much for the guitar tracks. I'll try to take some time tonight or tomorrow to study them and to improve my existing mixes. They sound great, and your gear makes me jealous! Fryette, wow :) Meanwhile, I've also uploaded my guitar tracks so you can tell me what you think...

    Mixing time, oldschoolish death metal song.

    Oh yeah! The difference is obvious on this one. Thank you so much man, I have to use this everytime now :) All instruments benefit from it, not only drums, it really produces this warm tape sound... and it's also a great way to control cymbals. I'll have a look at KRK monitors, indeed it's not...

    No I'm not tired at all! But I can't do the new mix right now, as I'm very busy with some boring student work ;) Damn I hate that, prefer mixing hehe! I'll try the saturation FX, I totally forget about that. I've read many of good experiences with this indeed. And yes it would be great to hear...

    Hey man, loving your latest mix! Awesome work! You're totally right about vocals, they sound a bit dry on my mixes. I'll try to correct this when I have time. About bass, yes it's a difficult choice, either we can let the guitars have some low end while the bass is expressive in the mids, or...

    Another mix with several sims blended. Bass is compressed to hell! Definitively love the benefits of smashing it. :grin: limiter: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14886940/RaNk/RaNk_Tests_C.mp3 no limiter: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14886940/RaNk/RaNk_Tests_NC.mp3

    Hey RaNk! Your latest mix is great, especially drums. They are super balanced. Guitars are crisp and clear, better than your previous mix. Vocals are also better. Bass volume is maybe a tad low, but it's maybe my headphones fooling me! My next investment will be good monitors, it should have...

    Thanks, I really appreciate your views! I agree 100%, and I'm glad you prefer the 1st version because other attempts were a just a little challenge to sound really old ;) --> Of course, all mids are gone in the process hehe. The muddy low mids were coming from my lousy experiments, rather than...

    Mixing time, oldschoolish death metal song.

    Hello guys! This song ROCKS! I love it, pure old school DM, a reminiscence of the best era, plus it's an absolute blast to mix. I've tried several combinations of settings (only amp sims / cab impulses with many post EQs), but I've kept the same guideline: old school tone !! :muahaha: Here it...

    EPIC MELODIC DEATH SONG FOR YOU TO MIX (17 tracks, lots of layering)

    Awesome track! But quite difficult ;) Here is my attempt: - mix without limiting http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14886940/Avalerion_UnF_DR13.mp3 - mix with limiter http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14886940/Avalerion_UnF_DR8.mp3 As you will notice, I didn't push beyond (...well, yes, actually I've tried a DR5...

    GUITAR TONE COMPETITION IV FINAL ROUND!

    Difficult choice. 23 for me, I love its gnarl, clarity and bite, but I like also 84 very much (deeper and groovier).
