Hi folks,

I've been away from this forum and mixing for a while due to some pleasant and unpleasant circumstances, but as we speak I'm mixing 3 tracks for my band's upcoming promo.

Recording details:
- Drums recorded with a nice Roland E-kit, processed with S2.0, Slate en custom samples.
- Guitars and bass recorded with Radiall Pro RMP.
- Guitars are Lecto + Jet City JCA20 -> Mesa OS 4x12 cab -> SM57 -> Focusrite Green II preamp.
- Bass an Ampeg plugin + DI.
- Vocals recorded with a Rode NT1000 and Focusrite Green II preamp.

I'd like to know from you guys:
- what do you like in the mix?
- what do you think could be better?

Vocals still need some juicy delays and automation.

All help is appreciated!
Cheers, John

Hmm, I rechecked my mix and found out the guitars are too soft and the snare is too loud. I changed both and also tried another rhythm sound for guitars and added another sample to the snare.

Is this one better?

Thanks, what tone do you refer to? Mix 1 or 2?
And what do you think of the overall sound?

Everything sounds great,vocal is dry that only thing that poke my ears.

Thanks for your reply!
So next time more reverb on the vocals?

 

[WalhallaM]

Yeah more reverb or delay or both just to fit better in mix.
