Crystal Light - Where I Belong (reamping by lolzgreg!!!)

[cobhc]

Ok guys, I've been doing some mixes for Macke on here for his group Crystal Light, and this is the latest song I've had to mess with.

This song is in the vein of Evergrey/Hammerfall/Nocturnal Rites IMO.

Let me know what you think of the mix, personally I think Greg fucking owned the reamps for this!

Cheers!

This shit is bitchin'! I had fun with these reamps. I took pictures of the settings and micing position incase you guys want to use my services in the future.

I noticed you gated the guitars a bit. Honestly, I think you could have gotten away without it. I noticed there was "noise" inbetween, but it sounded kind of natural... I don't know how to describe it.

The vocals can get a little bit piercing on the louder sections.

I love your use of ambience on this one.

I would raise the on-axis guitar bus a tiny bit more.

I will never be able to take this band seriously...

Thanks for the comments Greg, yeah I may mess with the editing/panning a little more, and I'll try and tame the vocals some too.

And Jeff, that's fucking funny! Never seen that before!

Yeah, Crystal Light is a low-cal beverage powder, which happens to be very popular in the United States.

Ok, did nothing with the editing on the guitars, but upped the on axis tracks a bit, and tried to tame the vocals some.

Sound better Greg?

I think this is better. All the guitars need now is automation. Lower the threshold on the vocal compressora tiny bit more and you'll be in business.

I would say trust your own ears on the rest. You did a great job on this.

Automation for where? I'm confused.

The kick and the snare are weak. Specially the snare, dont fit the style at all. The voice could have more body, sounds thin. The guitars are good. The overall mix has too much high end, is too bright.

Verse/choruses/intro. Ride some parts on the guitars more than others. I would say take everything down in the verse a bit and really build it to the chorus.
