are you looking for someone with balls enough to critique his mix or are you ever so slyly just trying to direct people into checking out your song?

haha.. why not both!

 

[crillemannen]

Sounds very good ofc. But i do feel that it sounds a bit flat, like not much depth. That's the only critique i have.

 

[Mago]

^same here, even if I was like "huh, doesn't sound *that* bogren-ish, a bit unusual".
I guess the depth thing is because of the drums (at least I'm pretty sure they are midi/programmed).

Altho the Symphony X album also was with SD2.0 and didn't have that issue as much *shrug*


Nice song man!

 

[Skinny Viking]

is this unmastered?

pretty cool riffs and textures .. reminds me a bit of Dark Tranquillity with less gothisms

Mix turned out really cool, congrats!

Drums aren't programmed (I edited them), but are likely sample replaced and there were no cymbal spots (just OH, shells, and room).

Awesome!
Seems I'll have to work with more consistent hitting drummers again

 

[decadawn]

Seriously if anyone needs editing, Jeff is the guy you need...

[Keregioz]

The mix sounds pretty great to me, no complaints about lack of depth here . The music is nice too!

Iconoclast. I've heard it too, supposedly the drums were recorded with a e-drum kit or something. I don't have a source though.

I simply adore what Jens does. And he did a stellar job as always. I loved the song as well!

 

[Flow Of Time]

Fantastic mix! Nice song as well

 

[SkylarWanke]

Sounds incredibly dull to me. Not necessarily bad, just . . . flat. Great song though.

 

[Kenny Lee]

Cool tune and mix. Funny thing is... if you wouldn't of said it was Jens... there'd be a lot of negative posts in here probably
