Trying out mixing on some new monitors (Truth B2031A) upgraded from my old Alesis M1 Actives. Also, experimenting with impulses rather than pod farm's cabsims. Guitars are Mississippi Criminal with tube screamer > lepou cab plugin > catharsis impulses I found on here a while ago. Drums are XLN AD.

Anyway, here's the rhythms and some light lead layers but no guitar solo(s), strings or synths.

How's this sound to your ears?

Oh! Also, I was wondering if anyone would be interested in doing some vocals? I realize this isn't the right section to ask for collabs but I didn't see the point in posting a link to the song twice. Cheers!
 
I have these monitors aswell... Nice song and guitar sound! Reminds me of Bloodbath's "The Fathomless Mastery" :D
Sometimes a bit out of sync. You need to cut some harsh frequencies at the 2-6Khz area and work on polishing the drums too. I would suggest mixing when having vocals sitting on top though.
 
Ah nice, man! How long have you had them? Also, I see a lot of hip-hop guys using them but not too many rock/metal guys, are you happy with the way your mixes translate from the 2031s to other systems?
Thanks heaps for the comparison :kickass: That's better than I hoped for haha! I agree the playing wasn't as tight as it should be but I was more focused on writing than playing if that makes sense. Good call on the frequency cut range. I've realized the monitors are WAY too high on my desk and so the tweeters are firing above ear level which explains how I wasn't properly hearing it. I used to have my last monitors laying on their side and so the tweeters pointed at my head but the 2031s are too big to lay on their side (at least on my current setup). I'm looking at building a new workstation in the near future to accommodate having both for A/B. I would love to have vocals to mix an 'entire' track with vocals but I'm not very good at them and don't currently have anyone to work with, so instrumentals for now. Sucks, but, it is what it is.
Thank you for checking it out and for the suggestions, man!

No problem dude :) About the monitors, they give good results but lately I've been really thinking about replacing them, not because they're bad, I just want to check out if there's anything better. And you can talk to me when you have vocals, I'll help you mixing them as much as I can :kickass:
