First Attempt to this Mix Hardcore.

[hidemerre]

First approach to this mix.

Kick and Snare are replaced , guitars and bass are pod farm.

Any criticism or opinion?

Thanks.

Wow, this is what hardcore sounds like today?!?! Certainly a far cry from Negative Approach and SSD!

The mix works well for this style of music. Vocals and drums have good clarity, although I thought the guitars were mixed just a little too low.

Not a big fan of the POD tone, but if that's what they like then more power to them.

Thanks for the reply Robert. I'm not a big fan of the pod too, hehehehe, but i dont have the possibility to track a real amp now.

i think, that mix is a little overcompressed no?

anyone?

yeah a bit.
also I would say use another snare drum.
maybe one with a little more smack and ring

cheers and keep up the good work

the mix really needs more bass and is overall too mid-focused imo.

Hey Gab, thanks, i will try this and rise the highs in the overall mix.

Kick could use a little more 'whoof' in my opinion, and the cymbals are too loud in my opinion. The guitars are pretty out of tune, too.

Put something on the master to kick up the volume around .2-.3

I usually use a limiter, but it's perfect preference.

For demo quality, this is fine. if anything more, I'd say reconsider :/

 

[hidemerre]

yes, it will be only a demo, but I would like to sound more compact and polished as possible.

I have a limiter on the master bus but I have not limited too, but I think you're right and I can tighten it a bit more ..

Any idea to remove the fizzy sound of the guitars?
