Can someone confirm if this link is working for them?
Cus when my friend tries to listen, it says ''your not authorised to be here make an account'' etc etc

Or is the color of this snare more fitting?

dude, post the details the drums! They sound good!

I like the first snare best.

I have SSD3.0 too, what did you do to them?

 

[bensnookes]

That first clip, nothing.. to any of it.

2nd clip, the guitars have a tad compression, and obviously used a different snare, with a little EQ and reverb

Just wanted to upload the complete basics of the track, no mixing, and see if anyone had any tips for mixing it

i like the first mix
but id bring up the drums (especially kick)

The right guitar is way louder than the left. Makes the mix sound really unbalanced.

Strange... all guitars are recorded at the same volume, with the same volume on the faders ....

how about this

altered volumes slightly in the mixer.
and brought the kick up a little

Right guitar is still louder. It's very strange to listen to like that.

 

[iamandy]

umm, your guitar tone sounds very boxy sounding?

Is the volume up higher on your one speaker?
Cus they sound okay through mine

 

[The-Zeronaut]

im still thinking kick needs to be louder (and snare too but just a little bit)
or simply turn down a little the guitars

otherwise...i really like the sound !!


(which slate snare are you using? i really like it)

It's Snare 22, yea i'll give it a bit of actual mixing over the weekend, see if i can improve on it.

Yeah, right guitars are still louder. My monitors are set equally.

And overall the whole mix still sounds pretty muffled.

 

[2000ContourSVT]

Yeah my monitors are set equally as well. Also like Unavailable said above the mix is pretty muffled. It almost sounds as if there is a lo pass filter set around 8khz on the master bus.

 

[K Odell]

Work on the squeels.

Yeah man. Gotta shake the fuck out of those things.

Otherwise sounds pretty solid on my laptop speakers.... I know that doesnt say much but still.
