This is a track by my band Twilight's Embrace, in the vein of Katatonia, Paradise Lost, Insomnium, Draconian, Daylight Dies, etc.
Unmastered mix @ Soundcloud
Mastered (well, 'loudened') mix @ Soundcloud
I did the recording, mixing, and faux-mastering in Sonar 7 with mostly free plugins. The current mix sounds ok to me, at least for an amateur attempt, but I know it can be improved upon. The mastered version mostly does a rather crude job of getting the loudness on a parity with other bands but I know that can be improved also.
I'd love to hear constructive criticism on the mix so that I can improve things in time for our demo which we hope to release this summer.
