Erratic Mixing

[Erratic]

Hi everyone!

First Post and a good one for your ears I hope, I've been reading this forum a lot and decided to register since I produce lots of my stuff and I think it's time for my mix to be rated since everyone around me is now telling me that it sounds good but they're no producers at all so I would be glad if you could check this out for me!

The plan of this mix was to achieve the sound of a band called Virus, which is a huge influence musically for me, but by respecting my vision of the project, so I mean that I don't want to copycat all of the sound from the band, my guitars are louder and a bit more trebly which is what I want;

My project:
http://soundcloud.com/fastworker/erratic-wrong-generation

I used Direct Bass 2.0 in Kontact 4 for the bass samples (My bass was tuned to B and this song was recorded in D) and it went through Amplitube 3 for tone settings.
I used Supperior Drummer 2.0 with my own custom settings for Drums
Guitars were recorded Straight into my FastTrack Pro and Tone was made with Guitar Rig 4
Vocals on my Rode NT1-A Again Direct into FastTrack, compressed with API-2500 WAves Plug-in

Mixed In pro tools 8.0

I'll be waiting for your comments, feel free to browse the others track I did, although you will be suprised of it's content like opening a chest in Super Mario Bros 3 ahahahah


Thanks! Glad to join you!

The mix sounds very muddy and reverby, almost like it was recorded from another room. Try bringing everything up and backing off on the 'verb.

Don't change a thing, this mix sounds amazing!
Writing reminds me of Dysrhythmia too, great music \m/

Muddy in comparison to what ?
Have you listened to my mixing suggestion?
As for the Reverb I personnaly like it that way.
Could you eleborate please?


GarethSE: Thank you!, Dysrythmia rocks the shit and now the bassist and Guitarist are in gorguts, a local band here *which you probably now about anyway!, my 2nd huge influences ahaha

It sounds muddy and whoofy in comparison to the original virus song you posted to my ears. Like I said, it sounds like the track was played in one room while it was recorded in another. But if that's what you want, then keep it that way.

i agree with gareth! i can tell that this isnt meant to sound totally clean cut (my appolgies if it is!)...i think this sounds so old school, its a fucking amazing mix, seriously! dont change it man

I'm working on 3 different projects now so soon you will be able to get it, I got a couple under my skin and i'm currently changing my mixing technique and testing new software!
IMPULSES!!!

I did a quick recording today for what is to become the sound of my band Spheres, although it's a guitar tone testing, it misses the analogue-simulation I have achieved on Spheres demo which i am uploading now, anyway I'll link when it's done.

Thanks to all for these comments I really appreciate it

Sounds exactly how it should for the genre. Great job man.

I decided to use this thread again.

I would like you to check out this guitar tone and the overall mixing, the bass will be replaced for a real one later in the process, it's a startup for the sound of an EP I'm working on for my band, technically it's supposed to sound fucked up to you.
No reference used for mixing, since I want something new and fresh!
Please tell my what you guys think about it !
