[felixsan]

Hey guys,

The mix isn't as punchy as it should be, like a blanketed version now. Guitar sound isn't that clear and crisp either.
Something with balancing too, use a good reference (good mixes from this genre and most similiar to your style) and fader-mix it.

Thanks for your fast answer!!
I will try that
one more questions...how can i get a more clear guitar sound? I have already a highcut at 8khz

You have too much stuff around 300-1000hz on the guitars IMO, scoop a little there. And the playing could be a bit clearer, more articulated. But I don't know if the processing is blanketing that or are there old strings or what.
I cant really help you on individual things as they all affect each other.

i will try that thank you very much !!
The strings are new i think is the playing and might even the riffs.


BTW your artwork stuff is great !!

Pick harder and more close to the bridge perhaps?
And cheers!

I improved my mix...
for the crisp guitars i used another IR and a multiband-comp.
and for more punch i compressed the drums a bit more and gave they more volume.
what do you think about?

Now it is way too scooped, the guitars are too low in volume too.
