Metal/Hardcore. I really like this band I'm mixing.

[Erik Monsonis]

Drums were played with an e-kit, into Superior2 TMF + custom kick sample + SSD Snare 12A (z1+z4). Snare is blended with TMF snare.

Bass is DI into POD Farm 2. EQ'd and compressed to hell.

Guitars are unknown, I just know they used real amps without TS in front. SM57 slightly off-axis.

Vocals are not autotuned, I didn't want this band to be that artificial.

What's your opinion??

Cheers!

EDIT: I fucked up big time rendering
EDIT: Updated final version

 

[Erik Monsonis]

OK, now it sounds like supposed to!

 

[Arcay]

Genial tio, creo que es lo mas guapo que has sacao hasta ahora en sonido

 

[Kyuss789]

[texisthebest]

[Beneath_the_Bliss]

awesome, sounds powerful and nice and punchy

 

[zakky]

sounds great erik good job!

 

[dani]

i'd be tempted to make the snare more present, and scoop the mix a teeny bit, but this is awesome as is.

the band are awesome, and it's rare to find a vocalist confident enough to record singing without 'tuning..!

thanks,

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Thanks guys!!

Updated.
Did some tuning on the choruses (it was necessary in order to make them fuller), some minor tweaks also.

 

[OneDaySky]

Amazing as always Erik Love the vocal effects

 

[eʍʍy]

this is so fantastic.

 

[Backe]

well done! too bad they recorded the guitars wet, really untight performances and the tone lacks attack. sounds like one of those "cover up all mistakes"-tones, haha. but the mixing is phenomenal! what is your chain for the screamed vocals?

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Updated link for final mix!

 

[K Odell]

Sheesh Erik this slays all kinds of everything. Its like a bag of awesome aural tits. You rule dude.

 

[OneDaySky]

Sounds Great Erik, what you using for tuning (post recording) these days?

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Thanks Kyle! @ "awesome bag of aural tits"

Clint: I'm using Melodyne (the old cheap one, not the awesome DNA one) and it rules! I use it as external editor in Reaper, so I just set F10 key to open it with the region I'm selecting. Then export and reimport back into Reaper with a couple of hotkeys. Takes me around 15-20 minutes to edit a whole song. Awesome.

 

[Djentkitty]

sounds great man!

 

[Kevin Newland]

this mix reminds me of the first As I Lay Dying recordings. Good job vox sit very well. I'd be interested in your vocal chain also.

Rad man, i used to use the DNA version for guitars but it sucks and when you say tuning, you are referring to vocals i assume? Because if you know a rad trick for re-tuning guitars post recording, i would kill to know how!

 

[Mago]

Are the guitars still the miced ones they gave you?
Because from what I recall of the last version this sounds MUCH better now
Great mix, really dig the vibe, awesome work man!
