Guitars could use more high end. cut some bass from guitars and bass too. maybe ease up on the master bus comp. but it might be okay with less bass.

 

[Sam Bottner]

oh and add a lot of mids.

 

[oroinvictus]

As Sam Bottner said, the guitars could use more mids and less bass. Drums need some humanizing, they sound very robotic.

i think the guitars sound fine but yea the bass needs to tighten up a little. this is a kickass mix and i dig the song as well. good shit man.

 

[xBOBxSAGETx]

The bass was way overpowering (referenced in my car(I had to turn the bass almost all the way down))!! Soloing the guitar I was getting some extra fizzyness soooo I cut around the 500 and boosted the mids a WEEEE bit! I realized also that the kicks were too low also! The drums are just temp until I get some kick ass samples and start using Drumagog! I'm bouncing the newest mix now and lemme know whatchu fellas think (I THREW IN A HILARIOUS SURPRISE)

Also THANK YOU Thrice! I've been working hard my brutha! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9875484/Devin Track 1.1.3.mp3

 

[Sam Bottner]

dude just boost the mids a lot more and cut some low end out of the guitars and it'd be good to go besides whatever u want to do with the drums.

 

[xBOBxSAGETx]

Dude I tried to boost the mids and it turned into a buncha noise and I did cut out low end of the guitars. Are you sure you're not mistaking that for my bass? I run two bass's. One Clean DI just doing my low end then another running through a hi-gain amp.

 

[Sam Bottner]

ah, maybe then. sounds pretty good now anyway so if you leave it, i wouldn't be too disappointed

 

[oroinvictus]

Maybe some more mid gain on the amp would help get the guitars sounding less scooped. Your bass guitar sounds mono and really distorted, if that's what I think I'm hearing between the two guitar tracks.

 

[xBOBxSAGETx]

Sam how bout now!!?!?!?

The bass is mono bro! I took the same performance and ran it into two channels and eq them and yes that's what I was going for. It's br00tz

Mids are completely up in my head in POD Farm

Last try for the night! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9875484/Devin Track 1.1.5.mp3

Dial back on the bass' distortion/compression and bump up the low-end, it sounds like just another distorted guitar between the other two.

hey dude i think the mix from post 7 was pretty solid, seems like the guitars have gotten fizzier since then. Also, now when i listen theres not really enough bass. Get it back in the vicinity of post 7 and then just fine tune it so the bass isn't rumbling super hard but yea i think the last couple mixes you're goin the wrong direction.

Man seriously, every fucking revision of the mix sounds worse than the one before...

You need a new approach to the mix, drums are quite ok but ditch the amp sim you're using and try one with MIDS this time...
