Hey guys!

This is my first post here on Ultimate Metal, and I've been wondering what you guys might think of my mixes.

So, I've recorded a short snippet of what is going to be the next song for my 'pop goes metal' coverband Pene Corrida



Be critical please!

Cheers

sounds good i really how like the riffy guitars @ 0:30 sound!

there's this one bass frequency that's costant through the whole track.
i gues it's the kickdrum maybe the bass too, it clouds everything up and needs to be cut.

cheers

Hey man! Thanks for the reply, I'll go and see what's wrong with the bass frequencies there

Hey guys,

Looked at the low mids around 150-200HZ in the kick, and found a pretty large peak which I've cut (not to drastic -3dB, 'cause I didn't want to lose any weight of the kick) Hope I addressed it correctly!

Also I found the guitars a tad to fizzy, which was easy solvable 'cause I used VST's on this one.

Bass was fixed here and there.

So here's the result



Cheers

much better!
i really like the KSE style intro btw!

how did you make the open chord played guitars sound so smooth and glassy at the same time!?

All I did was play very soft (caressing the string) and use the back single coil split on my Ibanez 7 string. The VST signalchain was RG7620 - LePou Lextac on the blue channel, bright switch off - Brohymn Mesa V30 #3

Rhythm parts were also played through de LePou Lextac and Brohymn Mesa V30 with a Tube Screamer (Logic pedalboard one, with all settings on 0 except for the level on 10)

After that I did a LP at 85 hz and I used the logic standard Multipressor to compress the low mids from jumping up and down in the riffing and breakdown part.

Thanks for the quick response I'm glad you like it 'till now!

PS: I love your tone on the Axe FX! I'ld love to get one myself, but the thing is that they are VERY rare here in Holland!
