A band that sounds a lot like For The Fallen Dreams...

[id3alism]

Here's my quick shot. Didn't have time to sort out all problems yet, so it's basically a rough demo.
Vocals still need some work and a lot of automations are missing. Drums aren't really processed yet.
My focus was on the guitars.

Great song btw. and thanks for sharing!

Well, mix is good but lifeless. Very dull.
Band itself is poor.

Thanks man. Really constructive.

Always wanted to have a go at mixing a band like this but never got the chance. Thanks so much for putting up the stems and I love the intro you've put on this. Epic stuff man

Reamped the guitars with my Orange Tiny Terror boosted by an MXR GT-OD. Here's the result: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2764370/brokenjaws-mix-03.mp3
I kinda like the sound for this style although it seems to be a bit undefined in the high-mids.

The guitars sound awesome way better than mine. The main ride on the drums throughout the song doesn't really seem to work very well to me though.

The DI's for the guitars sound really clear, like way clearer than my POD. What all did you use to record them?

 

[tripslipfall]

@TheIllusionist - What snare are you using? I freaking love it.

 

[Scissors61]

The guitars were straight into my Profire 2626.

 

[id3alism]

@MP125 thanks! I don't think your guitars are that bad. Maybe a little bit overgained. The only thing is, that I get the feeling I'm listening to your mix in my bathroom, kinda hollow.

 

[TheIllusionist]

@Tripslipfall it's Slate's Trigger (4 slate snares) but with a single velocity piccolo snare in also. (all through Trigger). Then it's into a few compressors and EQ's. Using one compresser for the slamming sound "API2500" and then using another one to enhance the attack.

Glad you like it, I spend aaaaaaaages getting the combinations I wanted lol

Yet another headphone mix, but with very different techniques and vocals.

@TheIllusionist that snare was totally worth the time you spent working on it, really. On a different note, your vocals in the Bed Intruder cover are amazing, do you remember what mic you used back then?

 

[JamesNorman]

Guitars way to dominaent and loud for the mix.

Thanks man, and the vocals are just taken from the original tuned version. I just took the high end off and the low end to minimise the instrumentation

Yeah, The plugins I had were just crap. I found the ones I were looking for so now the guitars sound way better. Upon actually getting to listen to it on a set of speakers I could hear the way the reverb was making it sound.

So. Here's the new mix which sound a lot better to me now.

here's my attempt. i put some work into this (even did some fx automation and stuff), but i had a lot of fun so it was worth it
let me know what you think about it.

 

[Sixstringmayhem]

this is fucking sick

 

[Sixstringmayhem]

right at the beginning where the drums come in, how do you get them so upfront sounding, they sound huggeee. also what kit is this?
