Aaron Dylan, thanks a ton man! Sounds cool. Again, loving the different takes on the song. Now, especially with the DI files - the different guitar tones are creating a different feel to the mix.

here's a link to the full cd (mp3s of the songs) in case anyone was wanting to check it out.

My mix coming soon. Been busy and I never release anything from my DAW that I'm not pleased with.

a present for you! dig the song so much!! i mixed it with hi-fi monitoring at my girlfriends house! will look over it with some descent monitoring in my studio soon! so what do ya think??

besides i don´t see why people would ever wan´t to edit the drums on this song! their played pretty well and it flows just like it is!
Quantizing old school hardcore is the death sentence!

love the song bro

Good mix man. The sound level of the individual channels is the only thing that needs to be reviewed. But as you said you mixed it with hi-fi's.

Thanks for this tracks!!

damn i tried it with the real drums but couldn´t get a decent snare sound you win!!!

sounds a bit smashed to me thoug and i can hear some weird compression in the overheads!

but i like it the most of what i heard till now!

 

[KHE]

thanks!
i post some printscreens later with the settings.
yes, now i find it also to smashed, but while mixing, i didn`t noticed it... maybe i was to focused on the individual instruments and not enough of the big picture.

regards, markus

[AaronDylan]

HAha yeah the tse is great i also got the burny impules but actually never used them..

hmm maybe i should start trying a mix with out any comp on the single drums!!

Liebe Grüße

[MartijnPaauwe]

There are some nice mixes in here! Really cool song too

My shot at it here

It's still a little rough, didn't do a lot of automation. But i am pretty satisfied with it

that's correct, the engineer did use outboard gear (gate/comp) while tracking

thanks for the new mix shallowenergy , will check out when I'm not at work

Ok here's my version. Let me know if you like what I did with the vocals or not. :Smokedev:

[avrinder]

love the upfront vocals man! how'd you achieve such a clear vocal approach above the other instruments?

 

[Megin]

Thanks and glad you liked it. What I did with the vocals was that I used the UAD 1176 and all buttons in i.e distort the vocals. Works great on songs like this. And used the distortion plugin in Cubase to distort more for the left vocals and at the end(used some lowpass there at the end). Highpassed at 100hz for the centre vocal and 133hz for the left. Dipped at 700hz a few db and lifted at 5khz. The left vocals were lifted ca 1db at 9khz too. A tiny bit of platereverb, EMT140 and EQ:d it until I was satisfied. That was all.

 

[avrinder]

thanks for the info! worked rad with the song.
