I reached a new plateu!

[sebby123]

So i just wanted to thank the forum as a whole ive read for years and just joined about a week ago. I've been practicing on OLA's (goddamn guitar's) mixs for sometime and progressing with them. As of lately i have been experimenting with loads of new techniques and this is one of latest mixes of Ola's.
Ihope he doesnt mind me posting another thread about him but love all his work and his DI's are great to work with.

Guitars are Lepou and drums are loads of different stuff.

Sebastian Rizo

Sounds like the bass is hi-passed at like 700hz, there's like no low end there at all. Overheads sound washy and distant, guitars are very quiet and thin, they don't really leave much of an impression.

Thanks for the comments ill try making the mix thicker and raising the close cymbal mics vs the overheads.

Alright so heres my attempt at making it bassier/thicker:

The cymbals are still washy but since there programmed im going to have to go back in and find a new set of samples to try out.

Sounds really good for me, you can't do much wrong with that playing

P.S. btw I Still need to fix the washy cymbals

Is it me or is there a tiny bit of level "side chain sort" compression going on during certain heavy parts. Overall nice mix Seb!! \m/

Alright cool. Maybe some minor tweaks on the limiter settings might do the trick. The limiting is not that drastic but only during certain parts, it kicks in causing the levels to "fluctuate" if that is the correct term to use. :Spin: Oh and I was referring to "Ola's mix 5" somehow the OP link didn't work for me.

You can check out my mix as well. Trying one of AdamWathan's mix.
