FIRST TIME MIXING SOMETHING I ENJOY IN A WHILE! (GOOD MUSIC IN HERE!) Rate the mix!

[XxRobbieChaosxX]

Band's name is Coralise, i have good hopes for them, and i dont have any kind of hope or even 'liking' for the bands ive been doing lately!

This one stuck around from when i sucked at recording and promised them a deal, they waiting till i was good, went into hiding, and wrote for 3 months. this is one of the songs!

Hows the mix sound?
Crits would be appreciate as it's clearly not finished!
NO vocals on this song yet, but this one has some good riffs in it and they're sending me vocals tonight. (Their vocals sound almost just like Periphery's)
You can crit everything down to the songwriting itself as they're always glad to hear some opinions and good ideas!

Also, as far as EQ goes on these guitars, anyone hear any problem areas i should EQ a little?

And if anyone has a AxeFx, message me if you do re-amps!(unless the price for your reamps will cost the same amount that the band paid me to mix this ) I'M INTERESTED!





NEWEST UPDATE; WITH VOCALS!

guitars sound a trifle muffled dude

As Rich said, the guitars sound kinda muffled. The OHs could also stand to come up a bit.

 

[Redline4]

Yeah, I agree about the guitars, they sound a bit muffled, maybe a little dip in the mids would help that I dunno.

 

[XxRobbieChaosxX]

Updated link, still muffled?

and any tips on the toms?

 

[XxRobbieChaosxX]

mix now has vocals, could still use some criticism!

 

[ForceTheTriggerSucks]

Much improved on the guitars dude. Still a little muffled for my taste but much better. Not a huge fan of the kick but that's subjective. Good stuff dude

any tips? :3
any recommended slate kicks you think would work better blended with the mix?

 

[OliverShillito]

If you're looking for a really "metal" kick, then overused as it may be but Kick 10 in the Slate collection with some EQ and Comp is brutal (probably why everyone uses it) other than that, Kick 14 has a nice click and bottom end to it. Also, I find that using a little bit of G-Clip on the slate drums really helps make them stand out in the mix and gives them a lot more punch, but thats just my taste.

Really like the mix so far man it sounds great! Good work sir!

They're local to my area, cool!

The song writing is sick I love it, reminds me of veil of maya...
