DANDELIUM - Finally we released our first demo, czech eet owt!

[slashvanyoung]

The only minor gripe I had with the mix was that some of the orchestration sounds quite fake on faster parts. But that's hardly your fault, there's only so much you can do with VSTis. The "regular" listener won't notice anyway. Again, good job!

 

[Nuno Filipe]

Why you left the "The Realm Of Oblivion" out? It´s your best track IMO.

 

[despised7]

OMG this sounds great. I see all over these forums guitar,bass,drum,mastering settings and I would like to ask how did you get the vocals to sit in the mix like this?

The vocal is the most important part of the song and what everyone relates to and you nailed the production on it perfectly.

Is there any way you can share your effects chain for the verses and chorus sections? autotune? melodyne? what settings on analog delay and reverb?


Killer job on this, best production I have heard yet.

 

[Ermz]

Sounds pretty good on the Opals man. Tight, strong guitar/bass interaction, nice space in the back. As mentioned the synths at times sound fake, but there's only so much you can do with that. Overall very cohesive and definitely one of the better mixes to surface on this forum as of late. Good job!

 

[Erik Monsonis]

WOW, didn't expect to sound that good on good monitors, I'm starting to think it's because mi cans have the most boring midrange I've ever heard from cans

 

[Ermz]

One thing though! I think you can really ease off your mastering. The track will actually sound better if you master it a dB or two lower. I've noticed your stuff is very very pushed, and at times it can stifle the mix due to lacking dynamic range!

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Oh, yeah, I use to bring the levels to the max I can. I really need some monitors with dynamics to get the levels correcly...
Thanks!

 

[Ola Englund]

Erik it sounds awesome! congrats.

EDIT: Though I must point out one thing. Your singer is awesome, BUT her english accent kinda sucks

 

[updog]

Sounds awesome dude!


In that myspace picture, you look exactly like my drum teacher... Distant twins perhaps?

The only one thing I would like to mention, I would like to ear more snap in the snare (of course this is a taste thing)
AWSOME work on the vocals!! nice performance and mixing!!!

Be proud of your stuff!!!!!

[Hamish666]

I have been listening all day and i fucking love it. One of the best melodic metal releases I've hear imo

 

[Lowberg]

Are you guys planning on playing to backings live or getting a keyboard player?

Sounds great Erik!

+1. vocal details please.

Nice work, you should be proud.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Thanks guys!!

Live we'll use a super potent pc to play everything but amps ITB. Triggered drums, vocal fx and synths No keyboard player anymore!

I'll put some screenshots of the vocal chain later if I have some time

[texisthebest]

Nice work Erik! Fine eletronic-metal sound combination!

 

[barricade]

Congrats on your demo! I like the sound... but sometimes i don't know if the singer is singing in English or in some other language!

Great work though!

 

[Erik Monsonis]
