Another mix I'd like you guys to be brutally honest about.

[gotet10]

Another mix I've been working on. It was done completely different than any of my others. Let me know what you think.

UPDATE!!!

New mix is here - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17596348/THE...28FINAL).mp3

DEFINITELY work on the drum editing/humanization/velocities etc etc. Sounds super fake. And the guitar tone is a bit too fake sounding aswell. Try grabbing one of LePou's sims and some decent impulses, and you can get AMAZING tones from it. I'd also try using different snare and ride samples.

 

[gotet10]

I'm actually using Lecto and a redwire impulse.

 

[JeffEstrada]

How can a tone sound fake? I do feel like the tone would sound better if it went along with some better editing. You can try editing your guitar tracks tighter. It'll sound much better.

 

[Vinny]

Sorry, I meant to say the guitar tone is too digital sounding

 

[NashMuhandes]

Is this your band's song, or one of your client's? I think it's pretty sick (from a musical point of view).

I'll leave the technical criticism to the other guys here...

 

[gotet10]

It's my song completely. I'm working on releasing my own EP soon under an independent publishing company

 

[NashMuhandes]

Ah, cool. Can't wait to hear what the vocals sound like.

 

[Seth Munson]

I agree with the above mentioned stuff like humanizing

I would say either tighter playing or tighter editing.
parts are getting out of tune from time to time.
I would turn the leads up, they are really buried.
I would start HP'ing everything.
Bassdrops loud on my end.
Stereo Imaging on the guitars? they guitars are hurting my head pretty bad when its only one playing, maybe try automating it off if you really want it in the mix.
I would say do a bunch more blending the drum samples and do some more experimenting.

The guitars overall could use a lot of work, but to be honest I think they sound fine. I would say with time you will get the hang of guitars more and more and learn what is and what is not pleasant to the ears and you can adjust accordingly but I would not worry about them too much now.

How long have you been recording stuff? Its not bad sounding and keep it up

 

[gotet10]

Here's what I've been doing with this song for a little bit. I know the vocals aren't the best and none of the guitars or vocals are really edited yet. It's really just a work in progress. I had just the drums mixed down too so I decided to post them up as well.

Here's the full song - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17596348/THE CREATURES (FINAL).mp3

And here's the drums for it too - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17596348/The Creatures (Drums).mp3

*fixed

 

[OneDaySky]

Sounds pretty rad dude, but i can hear some pumping when the kick goes into 16ths. Maybe automate a less bass heavy EQ over those parts.
And the autotune is too obvious to my ears.

 

[Vinny]

Drums still sound very fake.

 

[jimwilbourne]

yeah. the drums are a bit unrealistic. make the playing a bit more natural.

I feel like the mix is wayy over compressed. some heavy pumping going on.

 

[oroinvictus]

I hear a lot of pumping and some audible 'tuning. The drums need some humanization.

 

[jman1986]

i like these drums, witch one of joey's are they?! also what type of ampsim are u using?

 

[gotet10]

For this one I used kick 10 for the kick. The snare and toms are all Superior drummer and I use the Steven Slate presets as a basis and changed them up. The Cymbals are a hybrid kit between the Sturgis Dreaming Heavy and Emerald sets. The guitars are going through a Tube screamer into Lecto on modern red and from that into a God's Cab impulse.

 

[jman1986]

sweet man i'm liking this! what did u do to the kick to make it sound pretty wide?
