[Mixing Practice] Obituary - Redneck Stomp DIs + MIDI

[PsychedelicPill]

Hi folks,

i just did a cover of Obituary's "Redneck Stomp" and thought I could share the stems with you. Since this is an instrumental oldschool death metal song it only features 2 guitar + 1 bass DIs as well as the drum MIDIs. The tempo map is embedded into the MIDI file. Mapping is General MIDI (Ezdrummer/Superior Drummer). This should be easy, guys !

My reference mix:

@ajleddx17: Guitars and bass are fine, but the kick could use more low-end and the snare lacks attack and body ! Also check the toms, some frequencies in the midrange are too resonant !
@akarawd: The drums are fuckin' MASSIVE ! But the guitars are way too scooped for my taste
@dado_cool13: The mix is overall a bit thin, whereas the bass is too loud ! Double check your mix on headphones Bass is a huge problem when mixing with smaller studio monitors, I know the struggle :/
@RaNk: The guitars are reaaally nice, but overall the mix lacks punch (especially the drums)

So these are just some hints, maybe they can help you to improve your mixes in the future. And please don't be offended by my criticism, you all did a great job !
