August Burns Red - Composure

[Hankyu]

Hi

found the awsome multitracks here in the forum. I'm a very huge fan of the old abr stuff. I'm not so good with mixing vocals because the most multitracks are without vocals. but here is my try:

what do you think?

Update: too much saturation on guitars. here is a new one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/156776315/ABR - Composure (cover)2.mp3

Pretty nice overall! The vocals feel super dry. Because the dude's performance and technique are pretty weak saturation and heavy compression along with tasteful reverb and delay should get it sounding "right".

Also, the mix is lacking the weight it needs in the low mids and fundamental low frequencies. At least to my ears.

What did you use on the track?

For guitars I used revalver 4 with the ts, 6505+ and the flathill (mesa 4x12) cab. And I used the rendered bass and drums from the multitracks.
I always have problems with vocals and the lower mids. I tried to fill the low mids with guitars and it sounds awful. And the bass sounds not good there too. Or maybe it's just me. I will try it again and post it here. Thanks for the tips ;-)

Here's a rendition i made a few years back before i really knew how to mix, with my mediocre friend on vocals. Everything was a one-take shot. Except the drums because they are clearly midi hah
