I may have just nailed "The Way Of All Flesh" Mix...

Here's an A/B of my recording vs the original song. As soon as the riff repeats, it's the real thing.

Bass and guitars are pretty close, I don't think the drums touch the tone of the original though, they're some of the best drums I've heard. Snare is too snappy and kick is like a cardboard box (Sorry! :/ ). Cymbals are also a lot harsher.

Your mix is also a lot brighter.

well, not "nailed" but very close and very good! Details?

Cool. Well I think the overall character is very similar for sure, but you must hear how your guitar tone is sitting very differently in the spectrum to the original? You have a lot of core/nasal midrange content going on which masks the background ambience and bass grit. The original sounds more hollow, which allows it to breathe easier.

Other than that it's very cool. Good job.

 

[Harry Hughes]

Very close, good job. The overall level was a bit too high, would give me the impression compared to the original it would possible fatigue the ears after a while. Guitars seem a little too forward too, push them back a little.

What you need is a better mixbuss compression for that glue. Then you'll be atleast one step closer. But good try anyway

Cheers

That was good, I share the same opinions of above too. Drums are a bit softer in the original etc.

Theres no compression on the overall mix. This was a quick test, but I'm gonna work on this.

Guitars are TSS-> 8505-> Awesometime Impulse.

Bass is Ampeg SVX + 8505-> Revalver Impulse

Drums are Metal Foundry

If I mic up a cab, I'm sure I'll get a lot closer to the guitar tone. You'll hear more soon!

ive found that master bus compression was destroying my mixes and making them sound flat as fuck, so i've been mixing without one for the past few months while i practice making the instruments sit together properly EQ wise.
going for the jigsaw puzzle approach over the sardines in a tin can approach right now.
