    Lend me your ears. I haven't mixed in over a year

    I'm mixing on my buddies crappy 2.5" monitors. I've kinda learned to really like them but I can't judge the low end for shit. Drums are S2.0 Avatar. I only blended the snare. Let me know what you think please. https://www.dropbox.com/s/v35zuherf2c9oqf/Tone%20Test%20Harvey%20Send2.mp3?dl=0

    Need some advice on mixing vocals in prog metal

    Vocals are poorly recorded, You could have gotten some better takes. +1 on too loud +1 too dry Send your vocal track to an aux. Throw in your favorite Reverb plugin at 100% wet then blend the volume knob on the mixer to your liking. I usually stick with a small plate. You can also throw...

    Would like to have your opinion on this.

    The ride seems to get a little lost in the track, drum lack dynamics severely. The song and mix are bit stiff as well. Not so musical

    Haven't mixed metal in about 2 years. I need some ears

    I've stayed away from metal for a while now because of the clientele base was so underfunded I started making beats and working with rappers. I've been feeling the need to mess around with metal again after getting really juiced up on coffee. My buddy brought his 8 string over and this was the...

    Demolisher esque band

    Alright they sent me stems to mix and master this. They mic'd up a 5150 with a 5150 cab so I really couldn't do too much to the guitars. I did everything else though. I having a lot of trouble with the cymbals/overheads. I don't really know what to do. It's lightly compressed and I HP'd...

    Down tempo breakdown metal mix

    Alright I'm not really a fan of this music but for some reason I made this mix sounds REALLY dope. I'm really stoked on it. I was given raw stems and the guitars are a 5150 through a 5150 Cab w/ a 57. The drums are Evil Drums and the Bass is Guitar Rig5! Let me know what you think before I...

    Nu-Metal/Hardcore Mix

    Yeah it does get mufflied and I don't know what to do to fix it. I put a multiband comp on the low end even after it's been HP'd and the digital distortion idk what to do about, I pulled a little 4k out but I'm hoping that will go away once the vocals go over it. As for the verb on the...

    [DJENT] First paying gig!

    Well just for everyone's info. A lot of big names record this way. I know that the new Structures was recorded this way and since learning this technique I can tell that Meshuggah uses this technique too. It's quite obvious but it yields the best results. I'm getting paid to do this and...

    [DJENT] First paying gig!

    @Spite. They wanted the snare to sound like "Volumes" personally I HATE fake sounding snares like that but it's what they wanted SIGH!! They were also looking for the super quantized sound that they preferred! I also did cut some of the upper frequencies @5500khz and LP at 10khz. I've...

    [DJENT] First paying gig!

    ^Jack that's exactly what I did. Had no choice. These kids are 15 years old with 8 strings. Horrible technique and they write all of their music in a tabbing program. Vocals come in on Sunday. What I'm doing is having the same octave as the guitars on the bass with Trilian (Like...
