My latest with a Pop Punk band...

[Joshua Wickman]

No problem and thanks for the link.

Anyone else have any comments?

Sounds good, I think the guitars sound a bit muffled and I think you should wetten the vocals a bit more.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

My main gripe is the vocals are too quiet. Put the "pop" in "pop punk" and give the listener something to sing along with.

Other than that, it's quite nice.

The drums are in good volume, just a bit buried by the guitars.
1+ on Sickan, guitars sounds a bit muffled. Fix it and the drums will stand out a bit better.

Yea I can agree with this, thanks for listening Oz.

Ok I dropped the guitars 1.5db and boosted the vox a touch and the snare as well. Please let me know if you think it sounds any better.....

Joshua, i like bass sound too. ampeg svx??
could you share svx preset and post-process? i love it.

Nope bass guitar is through a uad (Nigel) amp sim plugin.

The bass was recorded dir into my digi002 preamp...

After Uad plug I used a waves q8 eq and did a bunch of weired boost and cuts. I cant even remember them to be honest. Then I used Waves l2 after that and just smashed the shit out of it. Thats it, simple really.

Did you like the second mix more?

The band does not like the second mix. They like the more guitar driven mix, and the first mix was definitely more guitar driven.

Great mix!! I just listened to the "redo" version, it's sounding pretty ace. You did use slate samples right? I love slate samples, but what's becoming a bit "annoying" is that you can spot right ahead, just like ezdrummer DFH! Most people can't spot that anyway, I'm not bashing in any way, they sound awesome and fit the mix very well... but I guess you know what I mean
