My latest Mix. mastered @ Studio Fredman

[crillemannen]

Hi,

Not that much of "rate my mix" because its all done and mastered but i wanted to share it either way. Tracked at my studio, mixed ITB. I would gladly share any info regarding guitars and drums etc. If people are interested i could post before master and after if someone would like that.

Its quite allot of real drums in there, there are triggers there but more for the support than being upfront in the mix.

Guitars are 5150 + XXX recorded with Engl PRo and an vintage Vox cab. Guitars where Fender Strat's that you can quite easily hear, those guitars have a crazy amount of attack

Vox tracked with the awesome Peluso 2247Le.

Yep you can def hear that fender strat twang in those guitar's. The drum's sound fucking awesome. everything seem's to glue pretty nice together.

 

[punkrockacademyfightsong]

[Erik Monsonis]

[Internity]

[Mikaël-ange]

Great job

 

[GeertSamuel]

This sounds massive! A very good job done on this one!

 

[Teddyboy]

Good job!! Agree on the comments above!!! Really interested in the pre-mastered version!! Info on the snare and toms?

 

[JeffTD]

Drums sound awesome, guitars are oddly focused on the left hand side because of the arrangement, kinda throwing things off. But those drums... fuck. Guitar tone is quite cool, too - the 5150's work great for pop punk type tones, thankfully! Vocals could've used more editing, as well - something to keep in mind for next time.

Good job!!Info on the snare and toms?

Sounds good. I can hear the Monzter Swedish snare in there XD

There are quite a few mis-triggers though, eg. at :54.

this master not killing transients is really something, at the expense of a bit of pumping, but that's unavoidable given the carefully calculated attack/release times which is letting those drums fly out of the speakers. sounds awesome, i'd also be super curious to what you sent to fredman before it got the treatment

 

[crillemannen]

Thnks for the comments guys!!! I Really took allot of steps forward with this production in terms of quality .

For the drums.. Its allot of real snare there about 60-70% I got 2 samples for support and to give some more meat/fatness to the snare. And the toms are miced with sm57'is blended with DFHS.2.0. All which is send to the drum bus which has MCDSP's MC3000 + Waves SSL with 4:1 Ratio. 3 attack and 3-6release and about 4-6db's of GR. And of course allot of parallell compression with Sftube FET comp.

@ Jeff. The vocal was intentionally not edited that much

I'll post a unmastered sample later today when im home.

/ Cheers

I disagree.. whenever the guitar is playing on the left, the drums are either playing on the floor tom or the right-side crash cymbal and it balances it out. It could be perhaps a little less-hard panned, but not centred.

I'll often pan a synth/background-lead guitar the opposite side of whatever the drums are doing. Not a fan of everything in mono (Brand New Eyes is really guilty of this IMO).

Ok here we go. You have to import into you're DAW and set the levels.

nice work! those transients are what i was expecting, but nice to see that alot of the coloration/careful compression is actually in the mix and not just mastering magic. the master sounds like only a limiter to me, and that's a good thing.

 

[gabriel g.]

This production is so good!!!

 

[Pedro Teixeira]

My only criticism would be some little parts on vocals are a bit out, which just a touch of pitch correction and editing would help. Everything else sounds ridiculous congrats dude

In the intro, those toms have a huge amount of tasty low-end, but as soon as they are not played, the mix seems like it's loosing all it's balls. Also the mix feels really static and the cymbals and side guitars are swindling... alot, especially the crash cymbal sounds absolutely crushed and keeps on swindling between the center and the right side of the sound imagery. I can't feel anything punching, but at least the overall tone is really pleasing.
