What do you think?
I'll apreciate any feedback.

Welcome... watch out for the dogs... they bite.

 

[zaurus]

Well... thanks... for the advise too

 

[zaurus]

So... no feedback at all
For good or bad...

 

[AudioPhile777]

Its sounds like 4+ minutes of the same thing...

Guitar tone sounds like a pod. right?

programmed drums...

I think it could be better...

but not bad for a first try... my first try was worse off than yours...

you came to the right forum, though... thats for sure.

 

[zaurus]

That was what I needed.

Guitar tone sounds like a pod. right?

Well, just the GuitarSuite.

Thanks a lot

not to bad actually for a first mix... My first was horribleuke:

The snare sounds to compressed for my taste but I'm personally still working on my snare mixing and am not even near happy.. The guitar sounded a bit fizzy and personally take all the highs out down to 12kHz or maybe lower....

 

[zaurus]

So... the snares with less compression and cut the guitars to 12kHz...

I'll try it out.

Thanks.

apart from the things noted by others I think the bass is extremely Loud and overpowering, put it down a bit. Furthermore the guitars have a harsh and fizzy top end that you might be able to lose with some corrective eq-ing

 

[zaurus]

I made some changes and updated the song at soundclick:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/songInfo.cfm?bandID=702465&songID=5355979

What I did was:
1. Reduce the size: from 6:23 to 4:39.
2. Reduce the snare compression.
3. Cut the guitars hi freqs.
4. Put down the bass a little (I don't know if enough though...)

So is it better?

And I don't know what is suposed to do with the drums. I'm not a drummer obviously :Smug:

 

[AudioPhile777]

I think the mix sounds WAAY better... I'm still not digging the song... just not my style... the drums sound... like they could use some help as far as writing/playing go...

keep it up... maybe one day they will be a Zaurus forum and we'll all be asking how you EQed this drum and that thing...

 

[zaurus]

Ha ha

Thanks

 

[mr.L.]

Definitely a big improvement. I think it would sound even better if you would turn up the drums some more and the bass slightly down (not too much, it is already a lot better than it was).

 

[zaurus]

Thanks. I'll try it.

Which part of the drums?

 

[broken81]

omg this is 100x beter....

Good job bro
