Would be great to get some feedback on this! Good or bad

Only a short clip for now and no vocals

 

[kernelxsanders]

turn the guitars up!

then again im not on ideal monitors, but the bass sounds like it doesnt quite gel with the rest of the mix.
otherwise, im diggin it!

guitars do need a little push, maybe (though i hate to say it) even a little down on the bass. what are you using for drums? they sound great. reminds me of counterparts

 

[sk8a123]

haha i always recognize your mixes because of your signature high passing haha. i think the guitars need to be turned up a little or(or turn the drums down) and the guitars need a little boost in the 200-250 range. IMO

 

[Beneath_the_Bliss]

fuuuuuu Seb. Beats Pod Farm hey man haha. Loving the tone, just needs to be louder. Was this through the Orange cab too?

 

[Scott Horner]

Definitely bring up the guitars and I would say lay off the hi-pass on them as well. They sound a bit dead if you know what I mean. I also agree with the guitars and bass not quite meshing. Perhaps playing with the lo-pass relationship of the guitars and bass might help?

Cheers guys, heres an updated mix. Let me know what you reckon

I notice there's always a lack of low end on your guitars in your mixes, boost some low/low mids.

 

[setyouranchor]

Cheers Allan. Seems like my guitars are the main suspect!

Any more?

 

[MisSigsFan]

Take the kick down and bring the guitars up.

Can I hear the clicktrack in the beginning?

Can I hear the clicktrack in the beginning?

I think I hear that as well. Also, it seems that the mic position is causing the guitars to sound slightly hollow or something. If that's the sound you are going for then disregard but just wanted to mention it. I agree with the low-mids thing as well. Otherwise it sounds great.

 

[Emdprodukt]

maybe the pickups of the guitars picked it up. happened to me

 

[setyouranchor]

Hmm that's weird! I can't check right now as I'm on my phone but I can't see why there would be. Thanks for pointing that out though fellas

 

[Monsterbash333]

i like it forreal ! kit sounds awesome! what are the drums?

 

[Virgil.]

Yeah the guitars have a cool presence in the high mids, but definitely sound hollow and lacking beef in the lows.

New mix


Cheers guys. Tried to sort the guitars. Drums are a mix of everything. Kick is kick 5, ryans parables kick, volumes kick. Snare is 11, 17, sturgis snare and volumes snare. Toms are shoulder city mixed with ryans parables toms (only very slightly)

@ setyouranchor:

Good mix overall, maybe guitars are a little overbearing.
I like the snare. Where did you find Ryan's Parables drum samples?

Cheers mate. Its hit or miss with guitars, I think they're finally at a level I'm happy with but who knows! Might change them right before the final mix haha and Ryan sent me his samples
