[Goodfellas453]

here's a project song i recorded can you guys tell me what you think of the mix? and what i could fix?

guitars are obviously pod farm, i dont have a bass or i would have put that in there, i know that's going to be a comment haha drums are slate and sturgs cymbals

mix?

over-compressed, digitally distorted, sloppy and weird sounding guitars.


maybe the song has some substance or potential but there is really no telling because the mix is just so fruitless.

ok, so i should be turning down the fader first to preserve dynamics yeah?

Yup Kick is at least 2db too loud, and wheres the bass? Guitars sound washy

 

[OneDaySky]

Snare roll at 2:08 sounds really fake, like single sample/velocity triggering, hope it helps man
