August Burns Red - Composure (cover + full stems)

To my ears there are some problems with the low end. It sounds like a master bus compressor is overwhelmed by the low end of the kick and thus squeezes the mix a bit too much. Other than that, it sounds cool
 
That is really harsh on the high end man, I'd pretty much take all bus's and master bus down a few db's in the upper range and pump up the bass too.
I agree with you. Should have checked it again with fresh ears although I have to say that the original mix of the song is very bright too.

I love the recording of the stems, so I also tried to mix it. I used all DI files to test some Amp VSTs.
For the guitars I used Amped Roots and for the bass TSE BOD (both are free plugins).



Enjoy :)
Cheers
 
Just re-discovered the STEMS on my computer today and had to give the mix another try since I really messed it up last time. I leanred a lot since then and I'm quite happy with the result this time. Guitars and Bass are done with Bias Amp 2, drums are from EZ drummer Metal! expansion.



Cheers

I think it has some strange eq, maybe it's just me, but it sounds a bit "hollow", vocals are too loud for my taste and have some harshness on the highs, too much distortion I guess. Also there's too much reverb on guitars. Overall it's a bit darker than what I usually like, but that's taste I guess :)
