Mixing death/black band - need advice!

[DominikJW]

Hi guys!

I'm doing a no-budget demo for my friends' band called Victima from Poland. It's actually my first job as a 'engineer' and I want to make it as good as I can to check if I'm able or not to run some small buissness with recording demos for local bands.

Anyway, it's a rough mix/master and I desperately need your opinions how's this working!

not bad at all...
there are a lot of mistakes in their playing but I know you tried your best

This was recorded with click? Seems that have problems with time.

 

[DominikJW]

Yeah, when I asked the drummer if he can play it to a click he said "wut?"

 

[DominikJW]

Alright new mix, please guys, it's the first time I'm mixing real drums, bass and vocals. I need some pointers if I'm even going in the right direction!

Yeah the playing is pretty flawed but that ain´t your fault, IMO the bass needs more uhm... bass? snare is a bit too loud, and vocals don´t seem to be well glued to the mix, too loud and need some eq, can´t point out the frequencies but it is hitting my brain real hard and causing me strain. but not a bad job for a rough mix as your first job, I know my first job was much worse than that.

care to tell what you signal chains were? for everything?
