vox needs havy compression

a litle bit roomy sound - maybe removing some mids from gtr
adding some hight to cymbals... and to the vox

 

[Doomith]

Cool thanks! Ive been doing the mixing on my headphones and checking it on my flatmates stereo (with a stupid sub that makes the low end sound rubbish) and my girlfriends mono guitar amp... hahah

[Doomith]

[Doomith]

Hey all, check out the new mix
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=750355

its so much more awesome!

 

[fistula]

i think now you should make vox a litlle bit louder

and remove about 100-170Hz at the guitars (it kills vox on pms a lot)

and a little comp on the master buss...

 

[Doomith]

nah not gonna comp the master bus atm ill leave that till when I master it
Yeah there are some really band resonant frequencys i need to remove on the guitars, i didnt get time today!
Yep vox up abit, and some volume automation needs to be done to the kit for the quieter bits.
thanks for your comments fistula!

 

[everybody's x]

great vocal talent!
double the screamy parts underneath to fatten them up

sounds like pre-production to me, like 60% of a song

the guitars are off-balance leaning heavily to the right.
it's nice to hear somebody singing

Sorry could you explain what you mean ? Are you talking about the singing or ??
Thanks, will check out the balance. Are you meaning the distorted guitars ?

 

[everybody's x]

I mean that it is a nice skeleton of a song, but if I was producing this I would push you to do more with it.
Dont be afraid to be great.

yes the distorted guitars are considerably louder on the right side

 

[Doomith]

Yeah, Ive had a talk to some people today! You should see (hear) what ive done to it now!
New mix should be up in a few days!
