Is this mix publishable?

[pitoga]

Greetings, I know i have posted this song before and sorry for that. But i kinda finally am satisfied with the mix (no automations yet) and want to know your opinion about the mix.
I don't want to publish something that doesn't sound good. or at least decent.
Thanks!

Sounds pretty good, Feels like it (to me) needs some "glue"

 

[pitoga]

It was my intention to have the mix with "space" but maybe i over did it. Thanks for the input If more of you say the same then I'll consider it.

Auto-tune on the vocals would be a plus. I like the "space" in the mix, but the kick drum might be a little too up-front for that. Maybe just make the kick a touch on the "rounder" side.

A nice mix so far

 

[pitoga]

they are already tuned XD, believe me his voice is weird and sounds as if it were out of tune but it isn't XD! and what do you mean "rounder" side? less click?

 

[Tommy Gun]

Yeah, just a bit less click the set it into the mix a little more.

It sounds great. I agree that everything sounds awesome individually, but disconnected from each other. I'm not sure if it's a master bus issue or not. When the choral harmonies or lead guitar kick in it feels "complete." Maybe more high end/grit on the bass track to fill up the center. The low end of the kick and bass is perfect on this. Another option is have a bus where the right and left guitar tracks bleed more into the center/other side. That could add some glue to the sound. It's got great polish. I just think maybe the guitars are too separated?

 

[pitoga]

Thanks for all the input, indeed I realized it was a bit to "separated" and "empty" so i "glued" so whole mix a little more (compressed the master buss a bit more) I also changed other stuff to make it a little less "harsh" sounding.

I hope it is any better. hope i haven't exaggerated with the "roundness" of the kick drum.

[pitoga]

any one? is the new one better?

 

[Tommy Gun]

I think it sounds a ton better man

 

[zackpennington]

Yep. I think you've fixed the glue issue! Sounds awesome.

The mix feels a bit too much on the dry side, especially for the keys and vox at times.

 

[pitoga]

Well, after tweaking some stuff if come to this final mix. But i'm worried to have screwed it up from the last version. So is this a better mix? I changed the overall balance and compressed a little further the whole mix. Have i worked in vain ? XD

[pitoga]

anyone?

 

[szymon]

Thats some massive low end. isnt it to bassy? i mean that sub is kind of distracting


also, snare is overcompressed to me and a little bit boxy. Guitars are nice tho, but they have too much energy in like around 120 hz
whats happening on ~10s?


thats what I hear


edit: ...and the bass seem to have too much ~120hz also.

 

[Backe]

love that snare, please give me some info on that!

 

[Tommy Gun]

I don't hear what the poster above is hearing. I think it sounds great man.
Drum sound reminds me of Images & Words (Dream Theater).
