MIXING TIME, SONG2: DI and Midi inside.

[rockmanxpr]

awesome work guys! happy you like the song

Thank YOU, Ola! For writing good songs and performing them like a Pro! I doubt the song would have sounded good if the DI's were crappy

 

[rlcramer]

Ola - I really appreciate your posting such high quality DI's and drum tracks. It REALLY helps out the guys like me who need to practice their mixing technique.

Anyway - here's my mix. I'd love to hear some critiques. I think I'm getting warmer, but I still can't come up with the quality of the mixes of most of the guys on this board.

Thanks again Ola - you're the man (and your technique as a guitar player is really incredible. Keep it up...)

My attempt - I didn't post the whole song - I didn't want this tune to turn into another Holy Diver (no offense to Marcus.. )

Your DI's are AWESOME, Ola !

 

[FF666]

Goddamn, what did you use for guitar & bass recording?
DI's sound very well.

haha thanks Bobby.

Sounds good but it sounds like both guitars are centered?

 

[Spite]

Redid it. The last one lacked quality reamping, and I've cleaned it up and added better drums.
So, here's my 2nd attempt.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Ola, I think you should include the amped tracks along with the DI's
They help a lot and sound awesome!

 

[MetalMiller]

Hey, i´m a little late to the party. I got my new computer and finally got this tse monster to work. Apart from that i´m a little proud of the snare. Cymbals are fucking EZdrummer.

right - here's mine - i had a few hours to kill http://dl.dropbox.com/u/881304/Mixdown%201.mp3

Tell me what you's think about the low end, mids and high in general because i didn't do this through my Yamaha HS 80M's for this one.

I used my dad's sony headphones i found lying around - I'd like to know if they cut it for basic night time mixing

I also subbed the kick just for shits n giggles so if you have a sub that can go to 40hz Crank that shit n feel it in your balls

EDIT: i know im late too - lol oh and i know i have some volume automation issues, there are clipping areas etc but fuck it, thats for next time

Thanx Ola.

WOW Those guitars are sounding awesome!! Well done.

EDIT: But the solo guitars are placed wrong!

I know, I couldn't get them in place.
Same with the clean guitars, I left those out.
Had to shift the bassguitar as well.

Guitars are Mesa Boogie Studio Preamp>LeCab with s-preshigh>Sonic Max+eq.

Thanx.

The guitar sound ace dude!

Thanx Ola, but it's all in your fingers.
I didn't need to use a lot of distorton/drive on the Mesa to get a good sound.
It's all the fingers.

Made a new mp3 without the solotrack.
Turned the guitar a bit up, added some tiny mids and added some reverb on the snare. Now you hear the guitars more.

It's actually a bit of 80's thrashmetal eq on the guitars.

Upped the guitars

That's the beauty when playing hard on the strings. You need less gain and maintain a tight sound.

Because of the less gain I think your guitarsound still growls after adding highs. It's not adding fizz, but clearence/presence.

Guys, check my mix, please. Drums are metal foundry. Bass is DI with Vandal amps mixed with miced amp. Guitar sound is my Krank Rev 1 with Celestion V30. If you wanna I'll post version with Eminence L12.

Nice song Goddamn!!!))

 

[AerialThesis]

Why are poeple posting drums in midi format? Do you have the actual drum tracks to share? Only DI tracks too? so this isn't mixing time as i can see... I guess i'll give it a shot anyways..

 

[KillDivision]

Here a better mix, less mids in the guitars.
Excessive low-end in bassguitar, maybe too much.
A joy working with these di-files.
