Another wee mixer tester

[Jaymz]

Just a short clip, combining the new bass and most recent guitar mix/drum mix.

This is un-mastered, just put a limiter on to bring the level up so you dont have to crank your monitors up too much.

Or this snare...

It sounds fucking phantastic! One of the best sounds I heared, since I´m here at the sneap forum. Holy shit, James!

Thanks man! Very much appreciated

Also ive added another version to the OP, changed something about the snare, which version does everybody prefer?

 

[Nauru]

Number 1

 

[P-E]

I prefer 2 and honestly can't say why.

 

[Tokyurot]

Sounds really good man, somehow almost too clean, well balanced and accurate?!?

I just woke up and haven't examined yet whether there's wax or spider eggs in my left ear,
but for some reason I can't really tell the difference between the 2 snares right now

I could imagine this mix being a hybrid of Andy's and Joey's work. Kinda too perfect for my taste, heh!

Hahaha thats cool man! Don't sweat it, theres only a minor sample tweak in the 2 clips. Nothing too major! Thats a verse and a pre-chorus aswell, so it will probs sound a little more....."together" with the vocals on top.

 

[Tokyurot]

Listening the clips again, I find the snare in the second clip a tad more powerful,
therefore it fits better this kind of riffing IMO. Very interested hearing this with vox

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

Awesome Shred! I prefer the 1st snare though

 

[chdrummer]

number 2!

 

[dasbrootal]

can't decided at the moment 1 sounds more natural but 2 has more punch. what did you use on this recording?

 

[Morgan C]

A bit too much highmids in the bass, maybe around 1.5khz? Anyway, its making the guitars sound a bit narrow.

Also, I'd perhaps try a pseudo-master with that.. I love that snare but it has the potential to get completely lost when you go to master.

Sounds REALLY good though tho.

 

[Felix Neumann]

Number 1

How will it sound mastered then?! Looking forward to get me a copy of your goddamn EP, brother.

Bits and bobs for the drums, though Metal Foundry for the overheads. Dual rec/6505 + 1960DM for the guitars.

Got some huge cuts on the bass at that area, might need to tame some more if thats happening. Ive never heard of a pseudo master? But ive tried doing a quick mastering job on a similar mix and the snare has always been retained Thats something ive been working on recently so that dosen't happen.

Bloody good hopefully! Need to get the Finalizer linked back up since I dissconnected it when I got my new desk then all will be well Thanks again Felix!

 

[Jaymz]

Ive updated the first clip with the same snare but tweaked slightly, also tamed the bass' midrange slightly.

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

Dude - number 2 is better.

Also, this song is fucking awesome man! Sounds really good - love the guitar tone.

 

[Jaymz]

Thanks man!

Damn the snares are pretty much dead even :| Neeed moaaar!

 

[cobhc]

Sounds bitching, but I'd like a lil more low end on the kick maybe.

 

[Behind]

The second one sits the best. Good mix and guitar tone!

 

[BC666]

nice gtr tone man!
