Mix test for upcoming EP I'm about to be writing and recording

[setyouranchor]

Me and a friend of mine have decided to write a 5 track EP this summer as were both musically deprived. This is a mix/master I have been working on in preparation. Pre production I guess. Ignore the shitty song writing, it was just for the sake of tone testing blah blah blah

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7188427/SneapMix3.mp3

We're going to be looking for vocalist and our main resource is probably we going to be right here. We don't want to be gigging or anything, just an internet based thing to keep us entertained! If your interested hit me up, or try something over this for fun.

This probably ISN'T going to be the very final mix and master (obviously) but a long these lines. Eventually all guitars are going to be re amped through a 5150, orange 4x12 with v30s. But until then, any feedback is appreciated!

Bit thanks to timislegend for helping me so much with this

edit: id have so much sex with Natalie portman..

Thanks a lot man! Guitars are nothing special at all really, usual pod farm set up just for pre production/tracking purposes until I re amp. Just some mild EQ. HP/LP to 9k and 95, small scoop at around 400, cut 4 k out, small scoop around 3k and a tiny boost around 5-6k. After that its just a multi band comp for the low resonant frequencies on the palm mutes and a limiter, not cranked too hard though.

All details are there dude ^^

Me too dude. This probably wont be a song on the EP haha it was just quick 30 minute session for pre pro work!

Also, just a reminder for people to try some vocals on this if they're interested

 

[Redline4]

I would like my pre-pros to sound like that haha

 

[setyouranchor]

I would my pre-pros to sound like that haha

I wouldnt say this is JUST pre pro actually haha it was just in preparation to actually starting to write proper material and get tones, drum tones, etc sorted

 

[Folkrav]

I'd give a try for the vocals if only I had a proper mic to work with. Only have my SM58 at hand, and by experience, it doesn't work well with me in a mix context. Will have to pass on this one

[chrisrivalry]

ill have to figure out what all those numbers mean. ;P

 

[ThriceFan]

kickass production dude! what do you use to find your resonant frequencies on guitars? Do you just use a parametric sweep or do you mess with the multiband until it sounds right? what kind of ratios, attack/release settings do you use?

Bass added

ThriceFan, i just get a sharp Q boost a frequency and sweep along the EQ till i find something nasty and take it out accordingly.
