Critique this mix - Drop G Two-Step/Hardcore

this is awesome.

the guitars are so clear. what are they?

thanks,

EDIT: in fact, any info you can give me about this mix would be great, i fucking love it.
 
Thanks! Guitar was a Schecter C-7 with a Dimarzio D-Activator in the bridge. Rhythms were quad-tracked and re-amped through a 6505 with a TS7 boost in front. Cab was an Avatar 4x12 w/vintage 30s and miked with a single 57 just to the side of the dustcap.
 
I just saw that you wanted more info haha. I'll list it out for you.

Drums:
- Orange County Percussion kit recorded live
- Sample replaced hits with Trigger. Kick 15 and 5, Snare 1 and Slate Snare, Quik Toms and Metal Toms. Those were blended and processed further of course to fit the mix.
- Cymbals were all Zildjian A Customs

Bass:
- 5 String Ibanez Soundgear
- Tracked DI into my Profire 2626 and processed with SansAmp PSA-1 and Pod Farm's Bass Driver

Vocals:
- De-Ess
- R-Vox
- CLA-3A
- R-Vox
- De-Ess

Mastering chain:
SSL Master Compressor
Waves C4
Izotope Ozone 4

Sarcasm I assume? I wasn't really going for anything like a Sturgis production, otherwise I would have included a shit, plastic guitar tone.

Soultrash, I'll put up the solo'd tracks and some more details later when I get back to that session. Thanks for the kind words about the mix man, I appreciate it!

Yeah that probably comes off a little harsh. I just don't want my productions ever falling into the Sturgis fanboy category. It seems like as soon as you use a Slate sample in your work it's automatically a Sturgis knock-off, so I was trying to point out a difference in our works. The guy is a great engineer, just not anybody I want my sound to be emulated from.
 
touche sir, other than that. the mix is solid good work, i feel the vocals could do with more balls? saturation?
 
i've listened to this so many times now, the mix is fucking amazing.

the one thing i might have found is an early punch in at 2:55 in the left guitar?

are there any more songs?

thanks,

so me saying you did a better mix than him is sarcasm? dude, get some self-esteem, haha. 'cause I love this shit :)

the reason I keep mentioning joey frequently is because I'm a bit amused by all the kids trying to copy him. he gave birth to a trend, now it's spread like a cancer all over today's music scene. I expanded my clientelle a bit the other week, the guys came in with material sounding like they've listned to Miss May I constantly for 4,5 weeks, then picked up a guitar and started writing. when I asked for some bands to reference they said "Miss May I, The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria and For The Fallen Dreams". I was like "fuck you, sturgis *facepalm*"

Yeah I hear that thing at 2:55. It's basically me not starting a fade early enough on that track before his finger/string noise popped out. Lets hope nobody else spots it since the band decided to roll with this mix as the final :lol:

This is the first track they've done with me kind of as a feeler to see if they'd like the outcome. They really liked this track so there should be more soon bro. The band is called Majesty http://www.facebook.com/pages/Majesty/154272641269627
