Impaler Clip

Testing guitar tone/mix, i think the guitars are a little too low in the mix, and i bet the bass is way too loud as i'm mixing on headphones, but lemme know what you think

Tone isn't bad. Maybe slightly higher. Bass isn't way loud but could be slightly lowered. I'd say you're very, very close. As for the drums...

 

[cobhc]

what about the drums? lol and a few db's each way turning the guitars up and the bass down?

 

[Ermz]

The guitars need a bit more highs, crunch and general fullness. They're just not present enough, IMO.

 

[Radd]

The drums are a little to "clicky" for me. Especialy towards the end, there's something wierd going on there. (clicking) I thought it had timing issues before also but now I don't know. Just sounds a bit off to me for some reason. Maybe bring the drums down instead of the guitar. And bring the bass down also.

ok, does this sound any better?

 

[Radd]

Yeah, that's better but the end still sounds bad. It kinda sounds like there's supposed to be a ride cymbal there but instead I'm hearing a faint out of time clicking. Also is there supposed to be hi-hat in the beginning? I can't hear it.

 

[cobhc]

Yeah, the hi-hat is kinda buried cos for some reason it sounds shit in a mix (blame DFHS), i don't know about the ride you mentioned, strange, i'm just happy it sounds vaguely good at the mo lol. Have been getting very disheartened with mixing lately, and kinda helps me a fair bit when someone actually seems to like the mix.

 

[cobhc]

actually just spotted the clicking thing, yeah again thats my crap selection of cymbals in dfhs, anyone got some tips of good hats/cymbals to choose in dfhs for metal?

 

[Jackal_Strain]

Hmmm... H never have any problems with the hi hat being buried in the mix when I use DFHS. Have you checked the hihat output in the drummer plugin?

 

[Radd]

How many guitar tracks are in this clip?

I don't have dfhs yet so can't help you there.

 

[cobhc]

2 guitars, and i meant i personally buried the hats because they sound shit for some reason lol

 

[Jackal_Strain]

oh!
Well that explains it!

 

[Radd]

Have you tried 4 tracks? I think it sounds good now but maybe 4 would be even better.?

 

[cobhc]

sorting the cymbals out now, and i'll track two more tracks tomorrow

 

[cobhc]

ok last post for the moment as it's nearly 3am, and i'm getting a headache, cymbals sound better imo and the volume on the hi-hat is higher

lemme know what you think again

 

[KillDivision]

I wonder how many people know the original song?

Drums sound very good to me, very upfront. Guitars are too middy and don't fit with the drums. Add lows and highs, maybe dipp out the mids. And i would like to hear a bit of the palmmute chunks for the feel.

4 tracks of guitar would help also to make it beaffy.

Cool drums!
