Latest work, local metalcore band

[AdamWathan]

Something I've been working on for a while now, more or less finished the mix pending a few minor tweaks I'm waiting for from the band...

Guitars are 5150 through Mesa OS with Sparkle Drive for boost
Drums are live but replaced, no Slate

Nice, I dig it. The kick and snare sound a bit thin, but that's just my taste.

 

[Sam Bottner]

Nice mix, I usually can't stand metalcore, and I actually listened to most of this, so good job. I agree that the kick is a little thin, but I really like the snare. Vocals sounded good too, I thought the harmonies during the clean parts were a nice touch.

 

[dasbrootal]

the singer sounds sooo close to the guy from atreyu it's ridiculous. mix sounds good. could have more overall punch and i agree with what others have said about the kick. everything sits really well though.

 

[Zombietakeover]

you might want to use some slate drums, to get some body of those skins

 

[arv_foh]

I think the drums (esp snare) could use some more verb but that's probably a matter of personal taste

I also think the bass could use a tad more lows to fill out the mix a little bit more

It's definitely a very clean mix, everything is well defined

 

[XnaySaturo]

Sounds fucking cash! Everything sits so well.

 

[amarshism]

I like the gtrs alot. Clean vox could do with some attention. The mix itself is good, I just think the snare could use a little more crack and the kick a little more sub.

 

[Mago]

Guitars sound awesome, like them a lot!
Snare sounds a bit "soft", but kick is cool. kick could up a bit, vocals are very upfront.
Great mix overall

 

[gabriel g.]

sounds great!!!

But I would bring up the bass to give the guitars a little bit more growl.

cheers and keep up the good work

 

[xFkx]

wow, this is great. Reminds me that good metalcore can be good

 

[AdamWathan]

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys! I might play around a bit more with the kick and snare and see what I can do, but this project started in April so to be honest I'm getting a little sick of it and want to get it out the door

 

[Lasse Lammert]

really digging the mix, everything sits nicely

 

[kernelxsanders]

wow nice work. and i agree with the others about the kick and snare, and the bass does need a little more umph to it. other than that, this is a very tight mix.

 

[Steven Otto]

Goddamnit, the guitars sound so sexy!

Too bad it is a metalcore song..

 

[tempe]

Absolutely love the guitars dude, the clean vocalists tone kind of pisses me off, but thats got nothing to do with you. Only think I could think of to improve on is that the harsh vocals are a tiny bit dry for my tastes. Lovely mix though, as Lasse said, everything sits beautifully.

 

[TimPio]

don't like the song but you did a nice job. The guitarsound is "Çok Güzel", really nice

 

[darthjujuu]

awesome work adam

Only a tiny thing but at 3:15 you can hear buzzing on the guitar track.
