A song by my band:
I'm having trouble mixing it because i just can't get stuff in its place, but i think it's sounding ok, i just need some outside opinion to help if you could!

Sounds good... I hate vocals like that... but thats just my preference...

Cheers for listening, i'm not so fond of the vocals myself either haha
anything else you could add as far as the mix goes?

 

[billcraftmetal15]

anyone?!!

Nice mix dude...

So far, the vocals strike me as too loud and too upfront... also, i would have a look at that kick, since i think it's a bit thin... could use more low end, less click in my humble opinion.

oh yeah, perhaps the snare could be a bit less dry/wetter...

The rest sounds cool man, good stuff.

ta man! i'll try and have a look at what you said!

Sounds quite good, here's my thoughts:

Kick sounds a bit plasticy. Maybe try another sample that's a bit rounder. Snare could use some body, punch in your stomach. Vox are too upfront, sounds like you EQed a lot of highs in, sounds unnatural. Guitars are a bit fizzy, probably not much you can do about that.

In general the mix has quite a lot of highs, a bit tiring on the ears.

-The snare could use some work, check the production tips subforum and look for "snare EQ tips"
-Lower the vocals and make them a tinny bit duller.
-Change the kick
-Work on the lowend of the guitars and bass. You might need to sue a multiband comressor, or some subtle subtractive EQ.
