Guitars are kind of small and ratty sounding, and the snare needs some work to get it to gel into the mix.

yea i kno about the snare, that was the worst part. i kind of rushed that part. but i think the my guitars sounded pretty good/big? im not sure what you mean by "ratty" sounding?

 

[TreKita]

They sound like they're really lacking in low-mid end and have too much high end going on...

 

[leaky24]

Really like mstone564 guitar tone.

So here's my mix

[AntonioPetrole]

if I have some time today I will do vocals for this and post the raw files. Awesome song man. Reminds me of Born Of Osiris' album A Higher Place

[RichMinerva]

Any feedback on mine?

 

[Charlez]

Not bad man, I think the guitars might be a little too fizzy. I really like the drums are these LSD?

And about those cymbals, I would recommend mixing in a little bit more of the room
so they don't sound like individual pieces hard panned, but like part of the kit and less fake.

 

[RichMinerva]

all the drums are slate bro

ill try that with the room

 

[LeoBurgg]

Here's mine.

Some feedback on mine would also be awesome!

Rich, your mix sounds well-balanced, but the snare and guitars sound just a little too dry for my tastes.

 

[RichMinerva]

I love me some dry drums son

 

[spencerlogan]

Charles, what pickups did you use on the guitars to record this song?

 

[Charlez]

I used an LTD M-50 with stock pickups...
