Looking for Mix Feedback & Mastering: Real Drums + Amp Sims
- Thread starter Ghoulscout
- Start date
Take this with many many grains of salt, as I'm not a pro by any stretch of the imagination, but here's a few observations:
- The Provisional Mastering one adds a certain crispiness that IMO isn't necessary.
- There's sections in the chorus 1:09 - 1:20 / 2:01 - 2:13 where the rhythm guitars get a bit lost in the mix. This might be partly a stylistic thing, because you seem to be going for an eternal/surreal/spacious sound, but IMO they could use a pinch more definition in those areas. This might be related to my next point:
- The lead guitars are taking a bit too much center space. They almost feel more grounded than the rhythm guitars at some points. I'd try playing with reverbs / panning a bit more.
Maybe add a bit more low end to the rhythm guitars and cut some out of the leads.
- Lastly, I'd try to glue the bass and guitars a bit more (Maybe a bit more low end on the rhythm guitars would solve that ).
Again. Grains of salt.
And do note that I'm being very nitpicky and thorough.
I'm very much digging both the song and the production. Awesome stuff!

I actually like it, and think it sounds solid. The things I would change are more personal opinion/preference stuff.
And this reminds me of what Swallow The Sun would sound like if it got drunk and had unprotected sex with Omnium Gatherum that was recorded, and then it's iCloud got hacked and photos and videos were released on reddit.

Big improvement, I'd say.
- Rhythm guitars don't sound less aggressive to me, though the highs on them weren't bothering me either.
- You could leave the leads in the middle (or panned very softly) and use reverb to lift them up in the mix, or something like the Doubler plugin from Waves, or a Stereo Expander.
Best of luck!
P.S.: your Facebook link is missing an "i".
