Still working on this mix so please share your thoughts....





[NEW] Tweaked the mix on my Yamaha Ns10's (best so far I think!)

Songs not that bad really. I think the vocal productions great, guitars sound really clean too. I just think the drums seem too "pushed back" I guess. Maybe just a volume thing?

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Thanks for listening and I will check into the drums...

 

[brianhood]

not too bad for a bunch of young kids haha(the solos suck though)

i think the mix is pretty solid. The toms seem a tad loud on spots(maybe automation could remedy that), but the snare and kick sound like they could come up dome(especially the kick).


definitely sounding solid though dude!

 

[digitalmikey]

What band is this Josh? They local in Detroit?

 

[dani]

yea, the drums are too far back, esp the kick, i think.

otherwise, good mix!

thanks,

There from Saginaw but the drummer is the old drummer for And Hell Followed With. These guys don't even have a band name or Myspace yet.....

You got a studio out here Mikey?

Yea I agree...the solos make me chuckle.

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Ok i have a ton of automation going on the drums so I just trimmed up the kick and snare tracks 1 db real quick. Let me know if you think there better....

nice mix dude what pickups were used, and what's your gear to record guitars? Did you use DI box?

 

[Joshua Wickman]

The guitar was a cheap Ibenez with stock pickups. I setup and intonated and used brand new strings. For some reason every guitarist that comes in uses thin strings and has the action so low its nothing but fret buzz. So I fix all this before i track...

Now my chain is: Countryman type 85 dir box on guitars into digi002 mic pre and then used Pod Farm plugin.

Whenever people use my guitars, the electrics anyway, they always bitch about the fat strings and higher action. Pussies.

great mix. But the drums sound programmed, like there is no dynamic left:Smug:
But great sound!!!!!!!!!
It somehow feels like a Joey sturgis mix

What was your setup in podfarm?
Amp/tubescreamer/cab/mic blablabla...

 

[thedonutman]

I like the mix - are the drums programmed or real (with sample replacement?)

 

[Sickan]

Sounds good overall!
The drums sound very machine-like tho, work a bit on the velocities!
The guitars could use some air and as a personal preference I think the bass could be dirtier.

 

[Joshua Wickman]

No the drums are tracked and sample replaced. Everything is just edited 100% to the grid. I think with this style of music (for me anyways) its hard to incorporate dynamics into the drums. Listen to Joey's Oceano mix and its the same way as well. I would have thought the drums were programed if he did not say otherwise.

Or maybe I just suck with dynamics and drums :-(

 

[LydonB]

Is the vocalist 16-17 too? I really like his voice. Good stuff.

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Ok my power amp just arrived for my Yamaha Ns10m's and I hooked them up and tweaked the mix real quick. I think it sounds more open now and they guitars fit better. Keep in mind Ive been mixing all day and Ive never used Ns10's before and I just hooked them up and did some tweaking.

5 minutes mixing with the ns10's and im stoked to mix more on them now!!

DO you like this mix better??
