I honestly tried to do my best on this mix!

Blend of 3 different amps, so phase issues are really a big issue. Any comments to improve my mix!?

(Listen to the finished song below!)

And please ignore the "Saw" sample at the beginning! By the way, this is my latest mix, not really finished but 90% there!

I think it's pretty good except the vocals need more processing. Compress and limit them so they cut without being this loud. Drums fail at sounding real at times but I bet you hear those parts too.

Thank you very much, both of you! So, Clark this is a compression issue?
I did compress the vocals really hard (slow comp->limiter) and manually automated them to be audible! I guess you can never have too much compression, i will try to add another compressor to my chain, thank you.

S1770, what is this version? I think there is pumping going on. Thank you for your time so far.

 

[Clark Kent]

Well.. personally I'm a fan of heavy compression on vocals. This ofcourse demands a great plugin for it to work well. I might use 2-3 compressors and sometimes maybe even a limiter after that so there's no dynamics left. I know people don't like the idea of that but I like how I get my vocals sitting in a mix. This actually me singing in this song. But yeah... Waves CLA 1176 compressor killing just about all dynamics and Waves L2 after that. Ofcourse this means that the vocal tracks have to be pretty perfectly recorded since every mistake will come through easily.

 

[Vaggelis_Revolted]

Nice! I tried that, it turned out really good.
Anyone else? I am really interested to improve this mix.
Thank you in advance.

That's the finished song, changed some things, tell me what you think!
