Damn first post in the mix section and you already fail!

Just playing, Move that song into your "public" folder in dropbox, the area you have it in is something we cant get to

 

[RichMinerva]

oops sorry

^_^

ill sort it out now

 

[RichMinerva]

that should be sorted for you.

 

[RichMinerva]

is there any help or advice available?

Sounds pretty good to me man. Im digging the way the guitars sound. How did you record them?

 

[RichMinerva]

all the guitars are podfarm mate

 

[RichMinerva]

i never actually expected people to like it :|

shocked much?

 

[Mago]

seems as if you compressed the whole thing too much imo
drums dont sounds bad though, except the overheads -> too loud and too fizzy.
snare could come down, kick could come up a bit

wouldn't mind getting my hands on those settings for your pod farm ;-) the guitars sound mega PHAT on the chuggy bits a real audible assault bit more clarity on your drums and this would be a superb mix.........top work sir!

Where is the bass? I dont hear any bass in the mix.

Am I the only one who thinks the highs are out of control?
