Happy Hardcore (or so they call it)

[Revelation7069]

Hey guys. I wanted to know what you thought of this mix. I'm still pretty new to recording and mixing so if you have any advice for this please feel free to give it. Thanks in advance.

BTW I use SSD w/ drumagog mixing multiple samples, guitars are POD farm, bass is gearbox settings (before I upgraded to POD farm)

So no one has any comments about the mix?

from a production standpoint, i'd say for the most part its pretty solid, espicially if your new to recording. I think the bass can come up a little. The vox might be a little too loud? (screaming specifically). I was listening on some really crappy speakers last night and thats what i thought and now i just listened on some good speakers but still think the same thing. Could be in my head now though. The performance is a little sloppy but you cant help that. overall, nice job.

I brought up the bass guitar and lowered all of the vocals. Let me know what you think.

The snare sounds weird to me.

The whole mix seems a bit low end heavy too.

 

[SentencedToBurn]

its weird, sometimes i think the vocals are too low and other times i think its fine. Maybe a little automation if you ever think the vocals get buried. sounds alot better to me.

 

[Revelation7069]

I will take a break and listen to it another time for the volume issues with the vocals. Is it the screaming or the singing?

The snare sounds strange???To woody and dry for my taste.
I would try to squash the vocals hard with any compressor!!!

The music is cool but a bit sloppy played.
Production is solid (but I´m listening on MBP speakers)

cheers

I am using drum samples. I was never satisfied with the snares that I found. I am planning up getting Slate Samples soon but I want to finish this CD and then go for it.

As far as the vocals go, I will compress them. Thanks.

search this forum for the andy sneap samples. The snare is great and would fit this style of music

cheers

Funny you say that because it is the sneap snare gog from this site. I maybe I just don't know how to use it.

 

[-Loco-]

if you have SSD why the fuck arent you using any of the snares on that?!? its quite a cool song needs less gay out of place screaming though its pretty genericore

 

[Revelation7069]

Let me rephrase what I posted. I am not using SSD I am using SD (Superior Drummer). I read that and I was like wtf?!?, then I realized I added an extra S. Anyways, are there any good ways to not make that sneap snare suck like you guys are saying?
