Death Metal song (album) needing engineer to mix

[MartijnPaauwe]

Did a slight remix

Snare is a bit lower and also lowered the pitch a little, think that sounds better now. Also i used Revalver this time around for the guitars (demo unfortunately) sounds a bit more undefined and darker now, but certainly a tad more realistic. Think it fits the mood of the song better. First time i also used VCC from Slate on a couple of channels, awesome plugin! Hope you enjoy it

Figured I would give this a stab, hate the OH's on this but I cant get the MIDI file to work to replace them. If you dig the rest of it I will see what I can do about getting the midi file working.

I think I'm going to give this a shot. The music is really cool.

 

[guitarguru777]

We aint got a shot in hell with Lasse and Greg on the job ....lol

 

[lolzgreg]

I wouldn't go that far. There's a ton of talent on this forum.

Glad you're digging the KRKs

Cheers,

I got the same problem with MIDI so all i could do is just trigger snare and toms, but i love kick sound.

I will try and see what the issue is with the midi file from Kazrog, maybe he can upload a new one.

I have been listening to a all of the new mixes and while some are better than others I do still have my top three as mixes (Coldthrn's, Lasse Lammert's and Fragle's, maybe Fredoreo's as well).

I have been slamed at work and have not had much time to comment on each mix individually but I have listened. I am still waiting on a few people to post their first mixes in this thread before making any final decisions.

Please keep posting if not for me then for others using this thread/song for practice and give a rundown of what you did with the mix (drums, vocals, bass, guitars) so others can learn from the better engineers.

You all rule and my CD will 100% be mixed by someone in this thread for sure.

Everyone has a shot for sure dude! I have listened to every mix in this thread and will continue to do so.

There's nothing wrong with the MIDI file. Can you describe your problem in detail? Perhaps it's simply a note mapping issue - you may need to move some hits to notes that are within your drum map for the cymbals.

When I attempt to import it tells me its an unreadable format. I'm using Sonar BTW

I am very interested to hear what you didn't like about mine.

Listening right now (about 6th time), a very quiet mix. Bass might have too much low-end and not enough "clank" to it. Coldthrn, Lasse and to some extent Fredoreo all see to have a nice bass tone that does not seem to muddy the mix.

I can hear the hi-hat nice but the cymbals seem a bit low at times. The guitars seem to be taking a back-seat in the mix, I guess that is the best way to describe it.

you might have to rename the .MIDI to .mid
I had to do that for PT

Change it to .mid, then open it, don't import it. Then save that file as a .cwp. Kinda awkward but that's the way I do it.

My daw FL Studio just don't see midi file. But now i found that extension is midi not mid, like it should be! So i am going to make more versions.

BTW: what do you think about my try with God Of Emptiness FX? I put it on verse second part where is changing vox tracks. Not very wet but little noticeable.

EDIT: Seems that midi maping is for Superior drummer, it is just ideal for me!

 

[DanLights]

yeah I just changed it to .mid and it worked. Kazrog, is the mapping for superior as nezvers says? or is it general midi mapping, as in guitar pro?

Me and my drum heavy mixes ...lol

Ill work on those things a bit more tonight now that I have the MIDI working

 

[HCL]

Gonna give this a shot!

 

[Kazrog]

The mapping is Superior / Slate.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

The mapping is Superior / Slate.

slate is completely diferent I think.
I had to change every note to get the correct cymbals triggered
