I feel that the cuts are too tight... not in a musical way.
But performance wise is great!!!
Congrats!

 

[EmmettAviyn]

the eq cuts?
any advice?
also thank you!

Lacking lows and low mids. I can tell that this mix is awesome but perhaps something on the master chain is bringing down the lower region. Check it out and post an updated version.

 

[EmmettAviyn]

Alrighty worked on the master and got this, btw I dont have a sub so the lows were something I worried about hopefully this helped!

 

[EmmettAviyn]

ooops my bad.

 

[infectdsniper]

you should post a pic of your master buss because it sounds alot like you had it sounding good and threw a highpass at around 100-120

 

[EmmettAviyn]

Ok I think I fixed the problem :0

 

[XxSicRokerxX]

It sounds better but it still sounds a bit distant to me. Bring up the vocals a bit. The drums are also a bit drowned out as well. You're almost there!

 

[EmmettAviyn]

Alrighty here's another! Thhanks for all the advice as well.

 

[EmmettAviyn]

Ok Here we go....

Dude, there's no bass at all. That sub drop fills out, but your kick has no weight, your bass has no ass.

 

[Plankis]

the eq cuts?
any advice?
also thank you!

No he meant you've edited it too much. Example @ 1:10 min it almost sounds like you recorded one power chord ringing through that entire section, then cut it to that rhythm. How to solve this? Play tighter.

The vocals doesn't sound "in the mix" at all. Either try lowering the volume or try eqing other instruments so the vocals get their own space.

And there's no bass. It sounds like I'm listening on laptop speakers with my headphones.

 

[EmmettAviyn]

Alright I agree the bass was low that has always been an issue thanks reddog im working on it.
Now plankis I have no idea what your talking about? At 1:10 there is a rhythm and orchestra literally no chords at all? Let alone power chords??
Again I agree on the bass and am working on it.
Thank you for your opinions and advice, much appreciated.

 

[EmmettAviyn]

Just figured out what plankis was talking about hahah...... and I made that part go with the rhythm instead of playing it for a reason.
Now here is a new version hopefully better.
Thanks for listening.
