Hooooly shit man, this is fucking stellar. Really loving the vibe and separation on it, like a thicker, beefier Misery Signals with less top end fizz!

 

[Ermz]

Nice work man. Digging the heavyness.

Question: Are you using artificial stereo widening on the guitars? The phase sounds weird on the Opals. They sound a little odd, phasey, boxy etc. in general. Love most-everything else though

You got a good ear dude!

It does sound very similar to Controller, nice work. The only thing I'm not digging is the slate.

Thanks!

This was just a quick 2 day demo and they did not want to do new skins. So, no new skins= job for Slate.

I also hear that phasy stuff going on, and I don't dig the high end of the guitar. Maybe it's the mp3 that ruins it.

But overall everything sounds fucking awesome!

I used 2 cabs (thd and 6505) and 3 mics in the same room. Then i slid tracks around in protools and i think that might be some of the phase problems.

421 on the 6505

57 on the thd and had to be off axis cause they have a wood thing blocking the cone. The the thd is half back so i used another 421 in the back of the cab.

the 6505 and 57 are like 10db louder than thd and 421. So its the meat of the tone.

Agreed that I can't jive with the drums much.

The separation in the mix is cool, but I feel like the drums aren't cohesive enough. I have that gripe with a lot of mixes on this board. You can still do a sampled kit and make it gel better.

Guitar tone works. It's cool, and definitely sounds better than the POD tones you used to use. There could be a bit more meat on the guitars I think.

 

[Josh Burgess]

Sounds great, but could use a little bit more bass, I think...

 

[zvish]

sounds great, and i like drums, any info about vocal chain ?

 

[Charles J]

sounds awesome, dude!!!!

taking a little inspiration from the ole' Charles J? =D

good shit, good shit.

i hear vibe. and intensity. and.... awesomeness!

 

[iraobryan]

Nice mix! I immediately thought of Misery Signals just as a couple others mentioned. Too bad the drummer wouldn't skin up.

 

[amarshism]

Sounds great man. Gtrs sound a bit wide for my liking as has been said before but otherwise very hard to fault.

 

[Emdprodukt]

If only bands like this would come into my studio...

Dig the mix. Great job!
