Ok this is the third time in a row I get no feedback on my mixes. Are they THAT bad or what's the matter?

 

[ruonitb]

This mix isn't bad at all.

I hear a lot of clipping though and at some parts the vocals seem to be a bit too loud.

 

[qwe1234]

Sick work, as always, Olli.
Only thing, that comes to mind on first listen: I'd take down the OH's a bit, they're a bit ear fatiguing to me.

 

[Emdprodukt]

Clipping is because of ozone on the 2nd bus, this is getting mastered by lasse anyway so that's not to be mentioned. OH's are indeed loud, I was experimenting with that and it seems I've overdone it a little. Thanks guys!

 

[Emdprodukt]

lol, clipping is serious

The kick sounds a little dry, it's fine in the fast bits, but it's quite noticeable in the slower parts.

 

[Emdprodukt]

Never heard that a kick sounds "too dry" What do you suggest?

soak it in water...obviously duhh

 

[Emdprodukt]

I would usually use verb to make things "wet". I just never used it on a kick and can't imagine it would help with such fast kick patterns.

 

[Tommy Evans]

Try automating the reverb on during the slow parts. Take it off for the speed parts.

 

[Emdprodukt]

I'm a bit pessimistic about using verb on a kickdrum in metal and never tried. I'll give this a go! Anyone doing this all the time?

 

[AEL89]

The vocals are sitting on top of the music. They need to be seated nicely into the mix. Not on monitors so I can only suggest cutting some midrange, compressing a little more and automating. Or just turn them down a bit maybe?

Kick is way too loud - put it in mono and its probably all kick and vocals. Solid other than that though!

 

[Mago]

hm...I think vocals and kick stick out pretty weird from the rest of the mix, I think its due to beeing brighter in general...
not a huge fan of the sound of the kick and the guitars...
dunno, I definitely heared better work from you man...it's a bit unexciting :/

 

[Emdprodukt]

Ok, this is why I'm posting that stuff. Update soon.

Here's an update but I'm not sure if it's for the better or worse. Give it a shot, I think I need to take a rest for a day or two from this mix

 

[CharlesMonroe1989]

Hmm the mix sounds a bit thinner to me...And less glued

Do you have a roommic out for the programmed drums? try to compress it and blend it in. maybe with the automation advice of tommy Evans.

I like that one better!
You could take out some high end from the kick tho imo, I think there's some stuff up there you don't really need for the kick..
Also work the bass a bit more in there and you're like almost there!

 

[Emdprodukt]

sure!? I though it was worse

Oh and Charles... these are not programmed drums I mean... it's not a natural sound kit but it's obviously not programmed.

 

[ratsapprentice]

Yeah, dry was probably not the best way of putting it
Like Mago said, there is something in the high end of it that is not sitting well at all.
