a couple of pre production mixes 6505 blah blah blah

[MetalJonesy]

just thought id post a couple of recent pre production mixes of some tunes for one of my bands, sorta southern rock influenced. booze metal all in all, if you want specifics just ask, guitars are gibson LP studio into ts9 into 6505

more mids on the guitars, more room on the drums and less attack and comp on the snare and kick:

the lead and solo levels are all over the place, this was purely a mix to get me by to give the vocalist something to work with!

Don't dig these guitars at all, sorry. Really odd scoop, kinda plasticky (usually guitarist's fault), and fizzy, although I kinda dig the fizz. Put some more mids into those ASAP.

The drums are REALLY punchy.. maybe too punchy. The snare also has a really odd, phasey decay?

Bass sounds sick, really nice.

 

[MetalJonesy]

yeah the phasey issue is from the reverb i believe, i hear ya about the guitar mids too, like i said, i aint done much to it all yet, and my cab has some nasty issues in the 3-5k area enhancing that plasticy/nasel characteristic!

 

[Wild Hades]

The guitar tone seems workable, it's not that bad imho...
The snare has a weird transient, sounds unnatural and too upfront on the attack, it doesn't sit well in the mix, probably because of the compression settings or maybe the transient shaping (if you've used it...).
Bass is good but boomy, I would compress the 100Hz area...

 

[Nuno Filipe]

The tone it´s not bad at all just scooped but the snare sounds too thin. If you work this problems this could turn to a great mix.

 

[MetalJonesy]

just about to upload a quick fix on the guitars and the snare phasey issues

 

[basilofbakerstreet]

Hmm. I like it. I'd get drunk to that.

 

[MetalJonesy]

haha cheers dude, thats what i like to hear!!!

 

[basilofbakerstreet]

It's rad. It's got balls. It reminds me of beer.

I'd love to hear it with some fuzzy stoner tone haha. My afternoon would be shot.

Sounds good Mark, but still needs a lil more mids and that snare needs thickening up/less compression.

Take a listen to Throwing Your Life Away by Spiritual Beggars. I think you need to nail that kinda sound.

+1

Try more mids on the guitar, and more ambience on the drums

Anyway good groove and feel, also sounds very tight!
And sure, this song is good company for a good beer

Would love to hear this shit with vocals.
