Post a rough mix so we can see what the song is?

 

[Moonlight_Seeker]

I listened to the song, I tried some thingies, I will probably never post it here but the song and the musicians are very good!

 

[skidwasted]

Here is the song, Morgoe:

Downloading now, what do you mean by "Tempo:164,8" ???

 

[skidwasted]

The tempo of the song is 164,8 bpm

 

[cobhc]

Here's my first mix, lemme know what you think, it's a bit shit IMO lol.

Maybe too much reverb on everything.

 

[rvs0002]

Nice job, cobhc.

 

[skidwasted]

I think the bassdrums and snare are a bit loud and the cymbals volume is low.
I'm not listening the bass...
The guitars are sounding good!

 

[Loren Littlejohn]

No vocals?

 

[cobhc]

Ok, I tried another mix.

https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/371262/Stee-FuckingChosenMix2.mp3

Might be clipping a little though, I'll back off on the limiting and try again tomorrow.

 

[skidwasted]

Guitargodgt, unfortunately no vocalist found yet...
COBHC, I think you added too much low. There's something pushing the sound to the background. If you could make it clearer and louder...
I appreciate your efforts.

i thought you where dead how is your triple x mate?

 

[Morgan C]

I like the song.. no vocals? Will have a go at it tomorrow. Have only listened to the rough mix, but the cymbals seem to be really 'out of the picture'. Dunno if this is a mixing issue or an issue in the original tracks.

 

[cobhc]

The cymbals are split tracks with no bleed from the actual kit, which makes things a lot harder to get the drums to gel. Skidwasted, are the drums programmed? Because the drums sound really bad, if they're sampled I'd love to have the midi and do the drums myself.

And felipe, I've been posting a fair bit lately, and my Triple XXX is fine, getting kinda fed up with it though at the moment, I need a better cab.

 

[skidwasted]

Morgoe, no vocalist found yet...
About the cymbals, yeah, some people told me they're not good.
COBHC, the drums is all sampled, but my buddy is working on the midis to use on DFH.
As soons as he gets it, I'm gonna send you.

 

[cobhc]

Cool man, having some bleed into the overheads and having some room ambience would really be nice for this kinda music.

 

[Put]

hey ! cool that you posted this!

Im learning and gladly downloaded your files and tried some mixing.
I have a reslut now ... there is something with the second lead... some volume changes? needs work.
and the snare is too thin and maybe the bassguitar can use some volume.
I will look at it later.

I've put it on my soundclickpage(please tell if there are better places, soundquality-wise).
