Melodic Death Metal Track - Album Opener...Event Horizon

[theNeologist]

Just wanted to post our album opener on here and see how it goes over. Any tips/critiques would be helpful at this point as new album pre-poduction has begun and any improvements I can make in the overall sound would be awesome!

Sounds good to me. Guitars have some nice aggressive fizz that I usually dont like, but it's cool here. what did you use for them?
Snare could use some more reverb/roomsound
the whole drumset would benefit from some more stereo with (panning?)
something's strange about the guitars though...can't put my finger on it...maybe some strange panning/mixing the same DI's?

Sounds really good, but I keep hearing hiss... the same type of hiss one gets from not lowpassing guitars. Did you so do? Also, reaper is reporting at least +1.1 dB of clipping (sometimes up to +3.1). Also on some parts I hear some low end buildup (maybe mid-low buildup), but that's maybe my crappy speakers.

The song is sick, by the way

hey thanks for the posts guys. i'll have to check those high frequencies....guitars are not hi-passed...so I guess I could cut those top frequencies off to eliminate hiss...if that is in fact what is causing that. Thanks for the tip dexter_prog

The panning on the drums sounds a little indistinguishable and the guitar tones are a little too muddy for me but overall it sounds good. Looking forward to hearing the final cut!
