    First Mix of metalcore band.

    @keepingpace: yeah I have that now thanks, rediced all the 6 db cuts to 3 db and took one cut out, then reduced the HP and LP filters a bit, definitely a bit more definition and life in there now, thanks for the tips.

    First Mix of metalcore band.

    i do have the demo for AD it seems extremely awesome and very interesting, i've been using Erkans organised samples for the time being, which i must say I prefer over anything that was on that track from before haha, logics samples aren't really cut for any kind of metal/hardcore at all, mostly...

    First Mix of metalcore band.

    @MAXMEDLOW: I do really like that drum sound! if it's okay with you do you mind if you tell me what samples you are using on that particular track? I do like the guitar sound as well, I have come up with something of my own creation and it definitely sounds a lot better than the actual mix i'm...

    First Mix of metalcore band.

    I did suggest it to them, but in the end i kind of just agreed as it si more of a demo thing, rather than an actual release. We will be micing up an acoustic kit (which will be a first for me) but i'm sure the search function will lead me to a bounty of knowledge on this fine forum. I believe...

    First Mix of metalcore band.

    Thanks for the feedback guys, it is much appreciated. I tried what you said by removing some of the treble and presence on POD farm and removed some of it with a LPF as well, to about 7000 hertz I believe. i also tried the bass thickening technique as well, but I forgot to turn down the bass...

    First Mix of metalcore band.

    Hey guys, So i've got my first sort of recording job with a local metalcore band and currently we're just doing one song as a demo version, we'll do the whole ep in the summer here. So I think it sounds alright, but there's definitely something wrong with the mix, I have a feeling it might be...

    My bands first EP, need outside opinions, alternative metal(ish) maybe?

    I've got just a small speaker set up with a subwoofer and it sounds just slightly muddy to me with guitar, that's all i've got to nag about really.

    My bands first EP, need outside opinions, alternative metal(ish) maybe?

    I must say, from the first example, I have feeling it needs a bit more high end on the guitars, maybe boost some of the high end and cut some of the low end? Also have you done a high pass and a low pass on it? the drums sound fine to me. the vocals i'd pull down into the mix just a touch, as...

    Abandon All Ships! Cover, needs some mixing.

    UPDATE: I think this is an improvement over the last one with drums, not by much, but an improvement, I think I need samples really, but that could be just me, it still sounds kind of 'unpolished' though, if i could get any more feedback that would be great, as I obviously have a lot to...

    Abandon All Ships! Cover, needs some mixing.

    thank you for replying, I'm using the ultrabeat drum machine that comes with Logic, so the drums samples aren't exactly top-notch, I have referenced it to the original track and I can see where you're coming from. I'll try pulling it up a bit, though I must say the kit is rather rubbish. Thank...

    Abandon All Ships! Cover, needs some mixing.

    Hello again, I have tried revising my mix a bit, bringing up the bass and what-not though I think I might brought it up too much this time. I also changed the EQing of the guitars, I removed most of the bass frequencies and boosted a lot of the high frequencies, I low-passed at 10KHZ and...

    First Recorded Track - I need some tips please.

    Thank you very much for helping me out, i'll be sure to post it in the right forum next time, I wasn't entirely sure about where to put it. Strangely enough, I did lowpass at 96 hz and I highpassed at about 10.2khz, maybe i'll just pull down a little bit more bottom end to put some clarity into...

    First Recorded Track - I need some tips please.

    Hello, I'm rather new to recording/mixing and I have tried my hand at doing a cover song for practice by Abandon All Ships! (I understand they aren't exactly the most technical band but I just needed something simple.) I'm very sorry if this is a bit of a n00b thread but i've tried lots of...
