Mix for my band

[Sly]

This is the drums/guitars premix of one song I recorded/mixed for my band.
What do you think ?
I'm quite happy with the mix right now, waiting for the bass and vocals to come in to have a full image. The snare drum is a bit too fat and low middy but I'm currently tweaking it a bit.

You record a 5150 well and I like your double stroke playing style,
so its all thumbs up for me. Oh and drums sound fine.

 

[Sly]

Thanks man, the snare still annoys me a bit though.
It is two track of reamped 5150 through Mesa OS, boosted with OD-820, Vintech pre, 57. Guitar is a Gibson SG Standard with passive pups.

Snare misses some room and bottom IMO

Guitars sound great!!!!

Alot of Snare-kick-snare-kick beats (here in germany we call that pogo-beat )

I would prefer more "darkest hour" drums like kick-snare-2xkick-snare
do you know what I mean? Like a punk-beat but for metal


cheers

Really good tones all around. The only thing that caught my attention was that the overheads/cymbals all seemed to be panned pretty far right.

 

[Mago]

i remember that song, u posted it allready 4 some tone test, right?
guitars sound good, but i guess you'll have to take a look at the low end when the bass comes in.
i like the kick! but not a huge fan of the snare >.<
cymbals are ok imo
great stuff!

I think you keep this mix, start a whole new mix from scratch, and see which you like better.

Comparing with your previous work (Reamp test) with same song, I think your old snare worked better in the mix than this new. Just my 2 cents euros
Exept this, I like how your general drum tone work on the mix...

Awsome song. Very tight playing. Nice mix overall but, the snare could use a little tweaking though (kinda sticks out)

Hey Sly

Nice Mix.
You have to put the bass there, it will change a lot the guitars and drums.
The drums sound a little bit "hollow" to me.
I like the guitar sound/playing.

 

[Sly]

Thanks Eddy, here is a new mix, which I think is far better, the bass is coming very soon :


What do you think ?
The guitars are EQed better and the drums have more room/OHs, I worked on the snare too but i'm not really satisfied yet (a bit flat).

 

[Mago]

i cant remeber the how the snare was before, but now i think it sounds good. guitars and drums work good together!
do you have samples of the kick and the snare? i'd like to try them out if you dont mind...
cant wait to hear it with bass and vocals though \m/

New version is better Sly
