sounds great

 

[luismars]

Kick and snare are too loud they bury the rest of the instruments. I'm no sure about this, more presence to the guitar tone could be nice.

 

[medic999]

i think its great, sounds like it needs more overheads in the chorus. just seemed kinda lifeless

 

[Heabow]

Yeah, snare and kick were too loud. As for the chorus, there's a ride cymbal so it's not that washy. Maybe, crashes would have been more appropriated. Anyway, thanks for the feedback guys.

[luismars]

With headphones, sounds right to me.

 

[torqueofficial]

Sounds good to me.

 

[Heabow]

It's a mastered track. I pushed the level at the maximum without clipping/saturate. Although I cannot push it more I wonder if it's loud enough... It's okay for me compression wise too but advices would be useful. Do I have to put a dither plugin at the end of the chain? The only one I have is from PT. Thanks.

 

[Heabow]

Is it loud enough?

Guitar tone needs to be worked, i think it should be more brighter then being so sharp, i think the lows need a raise

 

[Heabow]

The guitars turn into a nasty fizz very quickly so I prefer to keep them a little dark. And I like that tbh. You mean low mid, right? It sound quite balanced on my speakers. I already have a slight boost in around 180hz. What frequencies would you increase?

 

[Heabow]

Anyone else?

 

[Dave1978]

Mix is too boomy. Especially for those kind of vocals. Doesn't match the style of music in my opinion. Too dry, compressed and direct.

Song is great.

 

[Heabow]

Ok friends, I worked on the low-end of bass/guitars. I also tried to make the guitars sound a little more solid and it seems I tend to boost around 2kHz in every mix I do so I cut some of these in this version. To me, it's clearer, less annoying and the vocals have more space. Better now?

[iarebrandon]

for me everything sounds full but the vocals sound thin.

 

[Joshua Wickman]

Cymbals are low and the mix is a little on the boomy side. Other than that its pretty fucking solid.

 

[Heabow]

Still sounds boomy? Damn, I don't know how to fix that (90hz?, 120hz?, 200hz?) and if cut some low-end in the bass or the guitars, I'm afraid that they'll be thin as fuck. Will try something tho. Thanks for the feedback.
iarebrandon: I don't hear vocals are thin. Maybe it's because everything else sound boomy.

How does it sound to you guys? I'll sort it out, I'll sort it out...

[Heabow]

After several listening on different systems, it seems to be ok. I gotta change some levels tho.
Still interested in some opinions/advices!

Don't go for loudness... that just trendy nerdy stuff...

By the way good song, you got me when the triplets comes in :]

Don't go for loudness... that just trendy nerdy stuff...

Totally agree on this but you know when the band ask for a loud stuff, I just have to find a good compromise... Thanks for the input.
