My best production yet (or "How far you can get reading tips on Sneap forum" :D )

[Mancha]

I just finished my latest song, and apart from vocals, which could be better, this is the first time I`m actually pretty happy with how it sounds overall.
By using some drum tips by Ermz and guitar tips by Collin Richardson, it changed alot how my song sounds.
Give it a listen and comment please, any input is appreciated

nothing really feels "in your face" about the mix at all. :/

 

[Calippo Tecks]

true, doesn't sound in the face but on the other hand everything sounds quite okay to me, nothing that annoys me, although maybe too much bass.
You should try to blend your bass and guitars so you 'almost' don't notice it when listening to it (on a normal hi-fi stereo system kind of setup).

 

[ahjteam]

yeah, clip those snares and it it wll have more "in your face" qualities. Unless you don't want it.

There`s tons more stuff to learn, I`m just happy with the progress I`ve made thanks to fine people here (if you listen to other song on that link, you`ll see what I mean )
I wasn`t going for "In your face" sound cause I don`t think it would suit the song (although one of these days, I`m gonna have to learn when and how to use the clipper).
Calippo, that`s a good tip, I did try to do that, but I guess I still have problems getting the low end right. It was even worse while I was doing it only with my M-Audio BX5a, but this time I was double checking on AKG K702, and it turned out much better. Still long way to go in that department

Imo, try to remix this with a HUGE drum sound.

Like; old school ballad rock drums.

And I think the mix itself will sound more natural.

 

[Mancha]

I`ll probably get straight to recording next song cause I have few nice ideas, but I`d be willing to share the Di`s and let people mix for practice if there`s anyone interested.
You`re right though, huge drums would make it sound better.

I'll give it a shot, i guess. Post away!
