I would take No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom as a mixing reference for this kind of material. Overall the low end of the bass is dominating the mix too much and drums are just slightly too loud, also the snare might sound a bit better if it would be totally dry. Also the chorus could really use a boost, now the song is a bit too static.

Lasse,

Did you listen to the clip I EQ'ed and reposted earlier. I feel it fixed the bottom end you mention?

Cheers.

btw, I noticed that if you would just up the tempo by 20-50 bpm, distort the vocals and bass like fuck, reamp the guitars with higain settings and put drumagog to play doublekicks from hihats and the current kickhits would play chinas, that would be death metal. or black metal. and I want to hear it

Lasse is too busy taking himself seriously and focusing on getting the project done in time, I'm sure.

I dig the mix Lasse, was hoping it actually was metal though haha.

Pretty nice mix imo. I like how guitars sit in the mix. Drums fit the song perfectly.

I realy like the mix but I think a tiny bit more high-end would bring the mix in the ballpark

Also Some smashed room-mics in the chorus would be sick.

cheers

Nice mix Lasse. Nice drums!! Thank god for real drums. I think you could raise the kick a bit thou

Dunno if this was mentioned coz i didn't read the whole thread...but i can hear a lot of weird autotune artifacts in the "bridge" of the song... were u autotuning or am i wrong? ... You could also bring a little more of the bottom snare mic up and maybe leave the gate to make the drums appear more live...they sound like sampled at the start...
Cool mix though...
