FTFD TYPE MIX, annoying frequencies?

[sk8ersick666]

Hey guys!

Been working on this mix for a bit now. Wanted to get some opinions
I have a problem controlling the top end of the mix, I feel i have a lot of annoying frequencies. any opinions? Also any opinions on any part of the mix would be appreciated.

Again sorry about the .wav file but i lose so much detail with an .mp3, can anyone help me solve this?

Just a fucking amateur here but I must saying this song is and sounds amazing!

The guitars sound a bit boxy on my headphones, I'll listen on my monitors when I get the chance. The guitars and vocals tend to push the drums down pretty hard.

I really like that lead tone you got there. Did you you a hi-pass filter on the "rhythms" per say? The panning fiasco in that one part before it slows down is nice. I like when people can use that effect but not overdo it. Like the vocalist for sure. I don't really hear annoying frequencies really. Is there a certain part you are referring to? And the general mix, seems to be missing something, can't pinpoint it, but something. I'm having that issue right now as well. Excuse me for these terms, but could be "umph", or "meat", or "Thick". Not the guitars, not the drums, but just the overall. My drums sound tighter and more together than my guitars, but my guitars are especially having this problem, they sit weird. Your guitars however sit better than mine, but something about the overall is missing. Coming along nicely though, don't have anything negative to say.

a 320kbps mp3 would be totally fine dude, especially for our purposes here on umf.

first thing i notice is that snare sample sounds wayyy fake and too 80's, don't ya think? but I'm loving that lead guitar sound you got!

 

[jackbraglia]

but it could be a bit louder, its pretty epic sounding, so we should hear it more

Thank you for all the feedback guys!

I was also feeling that slight lack "umth" but my guess this isn't mastered so I'm gonna say that could be it? yes, no, maybe so?, and yeah I did hi/lo pass the guitars, more than I usually do actually.

I see what u mean with the snare, I was a bit torn with the sound I got, I'll try something new and post an updated MP3..lol (maybe is just me hearing things with mp3's)

Thanks again!

Hey guys!

I think I finally solved my .mp3 problem! Apparently my set up had my mp3's exporting at 96kps.

Here is the final mix (still unmastered) in MP3 320kps

Thanks for the help everyone!
