ControlState is looking for someone to mix cd

Hello, We like what we've heard so far!
Thanks for the interests you guys show in our music. Keep the mixes coming. We are looking for a "Killswitch Engage" sound. Maybe with that in mind, you can come up with some good ideas.
We'll select the best mix and that guy can mix our full length for a nice fee.

coldthrn: you have some very cool ideas! Some missing cymbals but a very cool mix!
StoneLord: sounds cool! The second vocals are missing but also a nice mix!
F.E.T: Very good mix! Hard AND soft at the same time... Too bad I didn't get to hear my vocal part at the end, the beginning of that part sounded excellent.

(By the way: The end needs fixing. But these are just the rough recordings. The toms will be added when the real drum is recorded, this is just a basic drum computer.)
 
Well here's my cup of tea :

I did an pretty quick mix, just to give an overall idea what i was working on. Overall the vocals are too loud, and thinking that the bass is too. The solo guitar in the bridge (??) is way too loud, before i rendered the file i just put my guitarchain to the guitar and i didn't adjust the volume cause my PC couldn't handle it anymore. And there is no automatisation whatsoever.

Drums are Addictive Drums, with a slight touch from other samples on Kick/Snare. Guitars are Wagner Sharp MK2 with Recabinet Demo Impulses
 
fin: very very good mix and cool ideas! I'd like to here to whole song with my second vocals if that's possible.
 
Well here's my mix. Not the best it could be but the song seemed determined to kill my computer. I suffered no less than 3 total system failures whilst working on it, and about 4 Cubase crashes. I can't think of a single time during a normal session that I've had so many problems and we've certainly never had a total system crash in mid-session. Weird, and I lost some tweaks a few times. But this is what I ended up with:

Hi there!

Just a very quick mix:

Currently I´m in another session so I just threw this one in. I think the drums need a lot of "enhancement". If you can´t record real drums I could play some real cymbals to get the real feeling. But I don´t have the time right now. It will take some weeks. The mix maybe too compressed and so on. It´s just s rough mix I did after many beers on New Years Eve.....
