Metalcore band i've been working with.

[sander]

I haven't gotten almost any help over @ Sneap's so i'll try if you guys got some constructive criticism for this.



We haven't gotten around to recording vocals yet, so this is an instrumental mix.

Since it's late where I live (as of the moment i'm posting this thread) i'm going off to bed, but here's a list of things I personally noticed wrong with this mix in retrospective:

*Snare doesn't sound good
*Guitars might have some wild frequencies
*Reverse reverb/snare effect sounds like crap
*And the playing is not tight enough at parts, definitely going to re-record some parts when the band returns to record the vocals.


What do you guys think i should change?

Anyone ?

sounds like alot of instruments fighting for the same frequencies. Around the low mid to mid region.

the snare sound seem to have cut off by the limiter. The transient of the snare have been lost by the limiter blocking it.
Try using the limiter that still recover transient. Or curve out other instrument freq that compete with the freq of the snare.

Other than snare, I think it sound fine already, but need to boost bass guitar to catch up the rhythm guitar.
