it isn't my style, but everything is pretty clear and sounds really good/balanced. i can't hear the bass at all, though. is there bass?
thanks guys! and yeah i'll take your word on the bass, it could come up a db or so. but yeah i was really going for the clacky high end. and what exactly do you mean by air, ill keep that in mind!

Not really my style either. Mic cupping/not understanding one word is NOT COOL IMO but that's just me. I'd say the mix is very dark = could sound a lot better with more high end. The bass thing... I would say you need to low cut the guitars more. 90hz-125hz is a good starting point. If you really want the bass to be the energy in the mix you could even low cut guitars all the way up to 150hz.
Yeah and guitars are WAY TOO HIGH in the mix. Guitarists will not be good engineers...
Bass players will. I wish I was one.

Vocals and bass/guitar sound good but the drums are not so tasty IMO. Kick is obnoxious and doesn't really blend. Snare sample isn't bad but it lacks some body. Toms and cymbals are not too bad though. Actually kind of dig the Tom tone as I continue listening. Overall pretty sweet man

I think EVERYTHING sounds good. Kick, snare, guitars and bass. Toms sound a little wack. Maybe a touch of 2-3k to bring them to life will work. Now for the main critique. The mix needs LIFE. It needs to be brightened up. I know a lot deathcore bands want their mix to also sound dark, like the music, but I prefer my mixes to sound like they are breathing okay. It brings out more definition in everything and gives it less of a muddy appeal. Overall nice work.
ok thank you very much man! yeah i think everything sounds pretty defined, i think the guitars could come up a db and the toms do sound weird. how do you suggest i go about brightening it up a bit?

If it were me I would start with a simple EQ on the Master and slightly boost 2-3db and sweep through 3-8k region and see what that does. You might can get away with just boosting the highs a little bit on the guitars. Try both and A/B them beside one another or post up some clips on here.
thanks so much for the feedback man i really appreciate it, ill give that a shot when i get a chance!
