i'm assuming this album isn't going to be free, but i would definitely enjoy a copy of it
haha, no it won't be free since a lot of time and effort was put into it, but it will be far from beeing expensive I think
Great to hear you like our stuff man! I hope the next thread I'll make for this album will be saying that it is out and were to get a digital download or a hardcopy, however one prefers
First of all, one of the better songs in the forum!! Great baritone voice (pet peeve - 14 year old boys trying to do baritone death/dark metal vocals - not the case here). I agree with some previous posters - alto vox needs work - maybe double the vocals, and/or add effect
Thanks a lot man, I try my best not to sound "fake" or wannabe brootal on my vocals
Pretty solid mix, If this is not the final master, it cannot wait for it. Great female/male combination of voices, and songwritting as well. Congrats!
Thank you!
My only issue is a bit of washiness in the top end of the guitars. There's definitely some unpleasant fizz that can be eq'd out, and then a nice high shelf could be done to bring out the sheen.
Hey greg, thanks for the tipp. I tried it and theres still a little room for removing some fizz, but I have to be careful with modifing the highs too much not to make them too grainy/piercing...has to do with the mic placement I guess
You could try using more pre-delay on the vocal reverb so the voices don't sound to far away. Other than that it sounds great!
will try that, thanks!
The new mix sounds much better. But your GF voice it´s not there yet IMO. I would do a little cut in the low mid area and a boost between 3khz and 6khz. The voice sounds kinda muffled. But hey this is just my opinion
Hey Nuno, glad to hear that it's better at least...
I also think that the clean vox arent there 100%, but I think that they are quite close, and maybe thats the problem why I cant get them there easily.
The area you're talking about is exatcly the one I've been tweaking over the last few days. if I boost 3-6khz too much it sticks out in a bad/too bright way and sounds thin...gonna move to anther song and try to tweak them there and see if it gets me any further and use on the other songs as well, because I dont need to hear the parts anymore
Thanks for your opinion dude, so far everything you told me on any mix was a great help, so I reall appriciate your opinion cuz it always helped me in making better mixes
these speakers arent great, but i think the latest update of your mix sounds pretty clear .. good seperation of the instruments
my comment is actually more on the song itself- i think it would flow better if the verse was all growl vocals and the female vocals came in for the chorus. would provide more 'contrast' and seperation between verse/chorus. also female vocals are good but a little melodyne manipulation helps even good vocals
I think the clean/growl thing is a result of a late decision we made:
it was planed that verses would be all clean vocals, but after recording some of the lines didnt sound as good as they did in the rehearsal room, so I did those parts instead...it has to work that way now
Are you kidding?? Her vocals are pitch perfect! If you opened her vocal track in Melodyne, all her notes would be in the center.
tbh, our singer doesnt like her very much on that specific song...maybe it has to do with the songwriting or the scale, but I indeed needed to tune some spots...didnt need to tune a lot of stuff of her, because shes dead on on most of the notes, but on this one had some parts that werent as good as other songs.
I'm generally not someone who says tuning is a must. if I hear something that needs tuning I'll do, but I'm not a friend of tuned to death/perfection vocals at all.
but you're right, most of the time when I'll open a line about 90% of the notes are DEAD ON...maybe that's why the rest who arent dead on stick out more than they would normally
Thanks for all your comments guys, you rock!
