[_Protoss_]

Ok guys, what do you thing about this mix?

https://dl.getdropbox.com/u/341581/FINAL MIX 4 (FINAL FINAL).mp3 <---MORE LOW END!

This is a demo song that i've made for a chilean band called Brutal Aggression (http://www.myspace.com/brutalaggresionband).

Drums were real, blended with Andy samples, and real cymbals, miced with NT-5's.

Guitars were Ibanez Gio uke: with amplitube metal.

Bass ------->Ampeg SVX
Vocals -----> Rode NT-2A
Synths Noises-----> Absynth 4

Hope you can give me some input!

 

[systmovadown]

pretty sick dude. what did you add to the vocals?

 

[_Protoss_]

Thanks man!
For vocals i just add heavy compresion, with Voxengo Crunchessor and some Eq to bright things up.

Greetings!

Vocals are a little loud to me. And the mix seems to lack low end (maybe too much compression....)

Sounds decent though.

 

[Unavailable]

Yeah, mix sounds pretty thin. Get some low end in there.

 

[Norris-wf]

It definatly needs more low end, I cant hear the bass at all really and the guitars are very tinny as said previously. Apart from that it's a pretty sick mix, nice levels throughout and fantastic work on the vocals, they sound amazing.

Thanks a lot for the input guys! Here's another master with more Low End.
Low end it's pretty dificult to get right when the musicians came to the studio with shitty instruments :S

Real drums? AMAZING job.

 

[eternally_gutted]

that is amplitube???? it sounds amazing for my taste.
could you share preset? i´d like to test amplitube.

 

[_Protoss_]

Yea man, The amplitube Metal Lead V preamp (Equivalent to 6505 model) settings were: GAIN 7, BASS 2.5 , MiDDLE 4 , TREBLE 5 , BOTTOM 6 , VOLUME 5, whit the Stomp overdrive engaged (with Andy ts-9 settings).
The Impulse was FINAL! impulse from Guitarhack. And a touch of Match EQ (Logic equivalent of Curve EQ) from Devil Driver, Clouds over California gtrs.
And the last, a Hi Cut filter at 12 khz.

Greetings.
