the high end is pretty fatiguing

and the drums sound EXACTLY like Josh's haha

 

[syns]

Yes, I did use Ozone on this.

maybe the highs is from there

 

[NSGUITAR]

Damn.. I really didn't think the high end was bad


I suppose I'll change that then..

 

[Black neon bob]

Sounds good, sounds good.. but the high end, as some have mentioned before, makes me want to stop listening after a few minutes, it strains the ears a lot!

Look into that and what will remain is a great mix!

 

[ArroldW]

Sounds AMAZING. Great work man.

 

[NSGUITAR]

Ok guys. This is about to be sent to a bunch of record labels, via the band.. Before they do this, I need to know: Is the overall hi end in the mastering stage the problem, or is it just in the vocals?

I only really heard it in the vocals, now that I listen to it. I've lowered the hi shelf on them, but when I throw the mix into an analyzer, it's pretty flat on the hi end spectrum, so is that what you guys mean?? The vocals have too much highs? I do agree with that.

 

[NSGUITAR]

Ok dudes.


In this master, I brought down the highs a bit (I noticed that 4K was sounding pretty harsh), lowered the hi shelf on the vocals, and did a little low end sculpting.. How's this sound? Better?

^^ Much better man, you need a little more presence above 4k now though I think. It affected your guitar tone the most!

Also, you'd be surprised how much "perceived"/artificial presence that a bump at 400 Hz will give you using Pod Farm tones.

Oh trust me, I know!

That's the one thing I absolutely ALWAYS do with ampsims is cut a bit of 4K.. It sounds so gross..

 

[Dollarosa]

heaps better,I would bring up the vocals a little

I FULLY agree, and the Pod's amps especially have TERRIBLE 4k, and pretty much anything above that to be honest though haha, but 4k is terrible.

And I dunno what it is about 400 Hz (other than being close to fundamental A, 440 Hz), but it really makes a guitar shine in a mix. Makes the tone sound strange when solo'd but really beefs the clarity in a mix.

Sounds great though, loving the drums. Snare compression is a bit heavy but those drums are fantastic overall.

A cut at 4k on any ampsim BEFORE THE IMPULSE always works mad wonders

I've done both before and after, and personally prefer after. But yea before works too!

Makes an ampsim sound more realistic.

 

[allplaydead]

Yeah, i've tried after and it took a little too much out for my liking. An extremely narrow, massive cut beforehand seemed to only remove the digital-ness of the sims.

Edit: Actually, just tried it after. Seems to leave a little more character of the amp intact. I think i may like that better
