CRITIQUE MY FIRST MIX!

[Mike Polyak]

I've been recording for about a year or so now. I finally feel comfortable to release something to be critiqued. Haha. Check it out and let me know your thoughts. Chango Samples. Slate OH's. Pod Guitars. No Vocals. Thanks.

Rhythm guitars are very loud in the mix, they are dominating the whole song.

Weird kick triggering at 1:05, 1:09, 1:12, etc.

I agree that the Gtr's are very overpowering. And I would consider taking those kick burst down a note. So depending on your tempo if that run is a 16th I would drop it down to an 8th notes. It could also be how fast you have your kick comp at making those kicks sound funky. Other then that sounds pretty good. May want to mess with the velocities and timing of your toms feels to make them sound more human and less programmed.
