Another song for you to crit :)

[Gujukal]

This time i tried to fix the guitars and reduce some of the upper mid freqs, I've also bought Yamaha HS-80M monitors and tried mixing with them. The mix sounds great in those compared to my headphones but i notices that the vocals seems a lot louder on my monitors than headphones, is there any explanation to that?

Here's the song anyways: https://dl.dropbox.com/sh/y4oqlnsekf8aga1/pyBgbbwo5q/When Stars Collide_draft_2013-04-25.mp3

That tone is killer, what was your chain for it? And personally i like the level of the vocals.

I've posted it before, just: NS - 808 - NS - Treadplate - Treadplate Cab w/ condenser 67 (i think) - Compressor in the pod farm chain. And then just a lot of EQ and Maximizer for presence. It's actually the same tone as i used in my previous song, just a slight cut at 3,4 kHz. It may also be that i use a different guitars with passive Seymour Duncan pick ups instead of EMG 81's. EMG seems to make it kinda harsh and honky.

Mix is fantastic.

Sounds pretty damn good to me! Bass is just a little too present behind the guitar tone for my taste. Sounds very Brian Hood.

Thanks brutha, i might agree about the bass tone. I really like to have that gritty tone though on heavy parts but i will automate the high freq track to make it less present on he chorus and stuff. Barely know who he is but i listened to some of his bands and i can definitely here some similarities, especially hiss bass and guitar tone
