first song off their EP. the mix isnt completed, they had me rush an export to be able to use it in a promo.

hows everything sounding?
ears are absolutely dead atm, so just looking for some outside opinions.

Could use any kind of help!

You could get some more high end on there man. In the middle of something so I can't go into detail. It's clear but there's no top end. Also there's a lot of what sounds like 100hz - 150hz, cut that down a bit and there'll be more movement in the low end

Guitars are muddy as fuck, fix that. Drastic cuts in the mids.

I saw that you were LOOKING FOR SOME OPINIONS, so I'll say that the guitars seem to be hogging all of the mix.

The dubstep part is a little dumb to me because it seems like a pretty cheesy thing to use in this kind of music.
The way it goes back into the breakdown or whatever is AWESOME though. Very catchy.

Also at 2:20, the vocalist is like "Hold on guise, let me be Adam from Oceano for a minute."

The songwriting is very unoriginal.

I agree with cutting the mids though. It'll probably sound much better. It also seems like this mix is lacking some depth, but I don't know enough to recommend a solution for that. D:

I hate it when most of what I have to say is negative. lol

Updated the mix yet again! Could really use some specific frequencies that could use some work in this.
I think its sounding pretty good, but lacking something D:

 

[Charles J]

sounds good to me, frequency wise... the guitars are too prominent for me making the vocals sound a bit buried...

could use more front to back depth for sure... SatSon or VCC is your best friend, here...
