Anyone?

Welcome to the best forum dude!!! I think that there's something wrong with the guitars. Did you quadtrack them? How did you pan them? Because I think they are not as wide as they should be (phase problem maybe???). Watch your velocities of the hihats at the fast patterns necause they sound a bit mechanical. Nice synths! What is it? Give us info about what was used on that clip. Cheers!!!!

 

[Iamsparrow]

Ya I agree, drums sound really synthetic. I would definitely humanize the velocities. Also turn the drums down/guitars up. That should make the drums so less plastic and give the guitars more presence

 

[saturnus]

There are 4 guitars 2 of em panned to 90 left-right and the other 2 on center.
I used
1/ revalver mkiii for guitars
2/ ampeg for bass
3/ steven slate drums 3.0
4/ Synths are Omnisphere

ill try -2db the drums and humanize more the drums.

 

[Jaymz]

Sounds good dude, really like the music!

I didn't realise Omnisphere has choirs! Awesome

 

[saturnus]

Here's my 2nd mix, i removed some guitars, and reduced by 3db the drums.

Are there any tips to improve my mix?

 

[Nuno Filipe]

The second mix is much better but there is a annoying fuzz in the guitars. And they almost have no mids.

 

[saturnus]

Any idea on how to reduce this fuzz (effect) on guitar sound
