This should be enough. The most important thing, to adjust the drumtrack to the guitars etc is the tempo changing at bar 61. You should fix this in your DAW, to make it sound better.
I would be interested, what it sounds like with the fixed tempo changing.

Hey,
all of your mixes sound pretty good so far.
What VSTs did you use on guitars, bass and drums?

At first, the tempo is 130 bpm. At bar 61, it changes to 133.

Felix

Thanks dude i'll see what i can do with this mix.

 

[CannibalBarnes]

I use revalver for guitars , superior metal foundry for drums and devil driver for bass .For mixing i use a lots of universal audio plugins.

Here is a quick version :

[FF666]

Quick mix as usual. Peavey Rockmaster on guitars, Ampeg SVX on bass, Abbey Road 80's drums.
I don't know how to treat so many vocal tracks, I muted half of them.

Hey dude,
this sounds really good.
I like the guitars; what are they made with?
Maybe the bass is a little too loud and maybe the vocals are a little too small. Maybe more volume and more compression?

I like the breakdown. Well done.

Regards

I also like the guitars. How much is the Rock Master 19" thing?
Maybe you should compress the drums and the vocals a little bit more.

The bass sounds pretty cool.

Maybe cut out about 400 Hertz on the bassdrum track. It sounds a little too vintage for this tune. What do you think?

Regards.
Well done!

Hey,
whats that scratchy noise in the background?

Wow. That is a fucking guitar wall. What did you compress them with?
Is this Amplitube? (I swar, i know that guitar sound)
