My first paid work! :D Part 2 (Reamps!)

[chrism3006]

Hey,

I posted this here a few days ago, before it was reamped, just looking to gather some opinions on my mix/master.

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1681257/Narcostising Disfunction Final.mp3

Using SSD/Superior for drums, Ampeg & Podfarm for bass, 5150 for rhythms and Cobra for leads. The vocals were recorded with an SM7b into my Profire 2626.

Let us know what you think!

 

[wiiii]

Huge.

Dude! What a huge improvement, the mix sits much better with a real amp! I'm digging it a lot! I just feel the drum fills are a bit too mechanic, otherwise it's pretty killer!

 

[BC666]

nice gtr tone like its cuting thru mix frequences

 

[BloodRedDawn]

bloody hell knocked me socks off!!!!!!!

 

[Miha Blaze]

Hope you got nice amount of money, else ill be pissed ))

Sounds very nice, dont like programing drumms, but this kit sound nice and punchy (velocities need to be fixed, this sounds like machine gun)...

cheers!

Thanks guys, once I had listened to that version for a bit longer, I decided the bass needed to come up a bit, and I started fresh on the bass tone again, I think it sounds better now:

What do you guys think?

 

[HandsOfDespair]

I really like the mix except the guitars to be honest, they sound fizzy to me.

 

[BloodRedDawn]

still sounds fucking sick to me, you should give yourself a pat on the back that is top notch work sir

+1

 

[Ionei]

Very nice man.

 

[Freak Of Metal]

Sounds really good! The second mix is definitely better as the increase in bass makes the guitars sound bigger too. The drums sound really great. Any chance you could share your SD 2.0 preset?

 

[barricade]

Very cool!

What samples have u used in Superior? MetalFoundry?

That's another thing I've noticed with my monitors/room, the treble is a bit dull, this mix doesn't sound fizzy on that setup, but it does when listening back on other systems. I might go back have a mess around.

I'll post the result up later.

Cheers for all the compliments!

Nice mix! so big, what sample did you use in around 1:27? sumtin like reverse subdrop?

 

[chrism3006]

Very cool!

What samples have u used in Superior? MetalFoundry?

I only used the OH's in superior. The kit is a mixture of slate drums with some sample replacement.

Nice mix! so big, what sample did you use in around 1:27? sumtin like reverse subdrop?

Its just a reverse reverb of a kick, snare and crash played at the same time, into a subdrop.

Right, new version!

I dialed out some of the fizz, I might of overdone it though, but I've been listening to it for too long to be objective about it at the moment, I'll re-assess in the morning. What do you guys think?

Is this quad-tracked? And any details on your 5150 settings along with the guitar setup?

 

[chrism3006]

Nope, just double tracked. The setup is, Schecter c1 elite with EMG 81 at 18 volts into Maxon OD808 into 5150 out of Blackstar S1 4x12.

Settings for the 5150 were about:

Pre 5.5
Low 10
Mid 4.5
High 5
Res 9
Pres 9
Post 3.5

Miced with a single SM57 into my profire 2626.

I had a listen to the smoothed out version, and it just lacks a bit of cut for me. So I went pretty much halfway between the two:

So which does everyone prefer?

Fizzy but cutting: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1681257/Narcostising Disfunction Final 3.mp3

Smoothed but abit dull: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1681257/Narcostising Disfunction Final 4.mp3
