Cool Punk/Metal -Band I'm Mixing

[fin]

I'm mixing my friend's band at the moment and would be great to get some opinions.

I didn't record this but here's some information what was used. Drums were Kumu custom drumkit, guitars HM-2 through JCM800 with Mesa 4x12 cab and JCM900 through Mesa cab. Bass was Sansamp pedal.

Whoa, I don't know if the guitars are distorted like hell or everything is distorting like hell. Either way it sounds pretty bad to me.

Reminds me of the sound from the last Rotten Sound record. I like it.

Thanks for the comment. Hmmm.. Can you explain the distortion more please? I can't hear any distortion.. If you mean clipping?

Thanks a lot!

Awesome guitar tone, but control the high mids a bit on them, too abrasive.

Thanks dude! I have to try to eq the guitars better.

When you clip a sound wave it always creates distortion. I'm not sure what's the case here, just the guitars are too distorted for my taste. I don't know if it's due to a recording with too much gain from the amplifier/fx or it's due to a limiting/cliping in the mastering stage.
No bad feelings mate

None taken I think that it's due to recording, since there's only eq on the guitars I used. But the sound is not a typical metal sound either I think because the HM-2 was used. I think the sound fits the song/genre really well. Thank you for the feedback!

i think this production fits this style of music ...sounds good to me!

I understand what that one dude said about the Gtr. I think it's best to word it as the gain of the Gtr are really squashed, from a limiter or comp. if you can ease back on them. If you can't do jack about it meh who cares. Maybe add some grim for the bass and add some body to the Gtr. I enjoy the jam. What samples are used for the drums I like the snare.

Thanks for the tips! For the snare I used Precisionsound's Monzter Drumz -samples (love both of those snares!). And I think sneap's snare sample was also blended.

More grittier with more mids. Which one do you prefer? Thanks!
