Constructive Criticism Needed

[cliftonmiles]

This band is a metalcore band. There drummer was HORRENDOUS, couldn't properly play to a click, had to track them with no click so I was very limited to the amount of editing I could do with the drums.

Guitars are a combination of 6505/Mesa Rect Cab/OD808/57 and PodFarm.

I did the best I could with it, what do you guys think?

I trust you guys expert ears! haha

i think guitars are too loud on this. that aside it's good, even though there are some awful timing issues and the clean vocals are pretty shitty (performance)

Agreed about the performance.

How do you feel all of elements sit in the mix? Aside from what you've mentioned.



How about the energy and balance?

Bump!

def bring down the guitars as a first...
that'll let the drums be seen through and we'll be able to judge the energy balance better ..
the song kinda sounds like something between waking the fallen and sounding the seventh trumpet by avenged sevenfold with added breakdowns imo...
in some parts, the guitars sound a little too spongy i think (the palm mutes sometimes..)
the guitars need to be tracked a little tighter imo.
