Melodic Hardcore/Metalcore

[JustinTheeDude]

Hey guys this is my first mix and I was wondering if I can get some opinions on it

I used Superior Drummer, Poulin Lextac, Poulin LeCab2, TSE BOD and CrunchDude

I really dig the song! The snare seems a bit thin maybe add some reverb

 

[JustinTheeDude]

Thanks! and yeah Im working on the drums but im really focused on trying to get the tone on the guitars to be good and try and make it punchy

 

[JustinTheeDude]

Anyone wanna help mix and master this better?

The soundcloud link sounds really odd and thin, the non-mastered version on your soundcloud is much better

First of all, this mix is in mono. bounce it back down in stereo then we can give a more accurate assessment of what needs to be fixed. Off the bat, i would advise to replace the drums, cut back on the heavy compression, it honestly sounds painful in conjunction with the immensely scooped EQ. A mix for a song like this should have lots of midrange. Also, anywhere that does not have a waveform, cut it out. Example being the breakdown at the end. That static sound is distracting and can only make a mix worse. Like the other guy said, the song below that one sounds a lot better. The music isn't bad though, i wouldn't mind taking a stab at this one.

Thanks for all the advise dude! Do you think it sounds mono because I ran all the guitars through an fx track? Because I panned the guitars to the left an right.

If the FX track is a Mono track then yes.

It sounds like it is in mono because you probably hit the master mono button before rendering. My assumption, anyways.
