Almost finished mixing this band, FEEDBACK more than welcome!

[Vaggelis_Revolted]

So, just some details left to finish this mix, and i know it will sound better, with your help and opinions! I used some newly-bought equipment for the first time so i changed several things on the way i used to approach some elements.

{{{see below}}}

Will fix some automation and some minor things, and do the final export tonight, i am interested in the general picture, like gtrs, vox, OH.

Thank you in advance, cheers!

Forgot to mention the equipment used.
GTRS: Gibson LesPaul->Bugera 333xl-> HB guitar cab with vintage30s-> sm57 -> GAP 73 pre
Bass and vox through the same preamp, drums SD2 with replaced samples.

Guys, will make the final export tonight, so any comments about the mix are more than welcome.

Last bump and i will stop asking for feedback, it ends up kinda irritating for other members!
I don't want to spam but i really don't have much time before the final export (i am already late actually!!).

Cheers!

hello mate.....i may not be the best person to comment as i'm still honing my mixing techniques but as you've had no response yet i'll throw in my 2 cents....

the acoustic at the start is really nice and crisp! well done! i think the rhythm guitar sound is cool as its got lots of prescence......possibly needed a bit more distortion during tracking as it becomes very apparent in the guitar breaks that the sound is quite "dry". but in the mix the guitars sound cool. maybe a tad loud though? this is something i always get wrong.....guitars were a touch loud in my last mix. or it could be that the drums just need to beefed up a bit more. the overheads sound quite low in the mix to me.....they're getting lost. also the snare is quite buried (i have the same problem with my mixes!). so maybe raise the snare by a couple of db and eq differently? not sure if you've used my saturation on the drums? or if you've used parallel compression? if not, i reckon that could help your drums to sound bigger and cut through some more.

the bass sound is a bit too "DI" sounding for my liking. a bit honky somehow. could be worth looking at ola's "how to record bass" video. have 2 tracks of bass, one clean and one with growling mids. i've found most success with ampeg vst for the clean bass sound (classic rock rig) and then pod farm for the distorted sound (rat distortion into a head and 4x10 cab with loads of mid).

other than that its all good mate, well done!! actually....one last thing, maybe bring up the lead guitar in the centre which starts at 15 seconds.

Applied the changes at another track, and i hope i am at the right direction.
