My Latest Mix (song I wrote for my band)

[MisSigsFan]

Hey guys. I came home for spring break this week so I decided to whip up this little demo for my band. I can already tell it's way better than a couple months ago but it still needs improvement.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: Revised mix! http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13361701/new new song mix 3.mp3

Come on guys. The only view is from me!

mix is nice and clear right now. Bass... I think there is one in here somewhere, but it sounds like it has a really clean tone so it isn't blending with the guitars at all. if you could dirty up the bass a bit, it would fill out the guitars better. it is probably too low in the mix as well, as well as the cymbals. The hi-hat is coming through clearly but I can barely tell if you are playing any other cymbals. but if I were to pick one thing on this song to focus on, it'd be the bass tone right now.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the bass. It's because I don't have an actual bass guitar so that was all programmed with this free program called 4Front. And then I put that through Amplitube 3 through the 5150 sim and a bass cab. It would sound dirtier if I could get a better bass vsti.

I'll check that other stuff you mentioned later.

Thanks for commenting though!

EDIT: I see what you're talking about with the cymbals. I have a different track for the hihat and cymbals, so the fix should be easy.

I agree with the guitars being too loud compared the cymbals and bass. Good music!

New mix up!

And thanks dude above me!

bump! Anyone else?

every element sounds very clear and very much has its own space.

I am not exactly sure what type of style you are exactly going for though (just because I do not listen to much like this)

I'm trying to get something like this:

Jay Maas, the guy who produced this, has become a pretty big influence on my mixing style as of late.
