Sounds fucking great dude! I love the guitars, they've got great low-mids, though perhaps just a bit "bloated" feeling, a slight cut at around 400Hz and a slight boost at 4k I think would do 'em some good. Also, the snare is a bit boxy, could use a cut at around 400 (again ) and a bit more air/snap IMO. I dig the kick, and the cymbals sound really defined (though a bit loud), and all I can hear with the toms is attack, no "DOOOOOM". Oooh, acoustics sound beautiful, well done! Oooh, and I love the bass too

So overall opinion =

overall this is a great sounding mix to me, sounds very natural. cool riffs too.

i can't really think of anything i would change. maybe scoop out some mids in the distorted guitar around 500hz -3db.

edit: looks like you beat me to it marcus about scooping the mids of the gee-tars!

Thanks Mataltastic! really apreciated! yes the toms are only attack...not to much body, becouse my drummer like it as they are...
I try to cut some 400 hz from snare and guitars.....

Thanks Paladin!

Then ignore him cuz he's stupid (and wrong ) Gotta have that DOOOOOOOM! (or perhaps, that BOOOOOOM!!)

 

[beyond dead]

nothing like blind comparisons to show dumb musicians that they are wrong lol.

 

[Tachy]

hahah, yes i know that....but I think that my drummer will put a drum stick in my ass if I try to make that toms sound boooooommmm..........but I'll try to do a blind test

 

[kaomao]

well done tachy!

 

[ahjteam]

sounds otherwise ok, but I think the kick just sounds too triggered

Psshh, I wouldn't have it any other way for this style of music!

 

[lolzgreg]

+1 on the 4khz boost.

I don't think the guitars need any cutting. Great definition btw.

I would get more snap on the drums though. The snare has a great bottom, but it needs more THWACK!

What did you use for guitars? What your recording environment like?

Thanks a lot guys, for guitars I use this chain : jackson dinky usa with emg81-5150II green channel-mesa std 4x12-1 sm57 in the bottom left speaker- spl gold mike mk2-rme ff800
Yes The kick is triggered, but I like it, I don't want natural kick at all in this type of music.......
