my new mix (more than 1 year without posting)

[eternally_gutted]

this is a test sound (the air i breath cover) i sent to a local band and finally i´ll record their first EP this summer (my first paid work).

long time without posting here. i was improving my sound (a lot i think.haha) and buying new equipment.

i´d appreciate some opinions,

I'm not familiar with the original but this is a really fuckin awesome mix man, and I know how hard you've worked on this. It's definitely paid off!

[Nuno Filipe]

Impressive Really good dude. I have a few questions!lol How many snares did you blend to get this? and what type of reverb to have so huge sound? Great to see your evolution! Now it´s me that have to learn from you! ahah

 

[Donovan S.]

Jesus christ you are clipping the piss out of the master bus with that sub drop.

Other than that the mix is pretty good.

thanks a lot Nuno. yes, i think the evolution this past year have been big.
no problem for the questions.
i used joey snare 1 for the main snare sound. OH and room tracks (close and far) from superior 2 and another track with slate z4 sample, i think it was dreamsnare but i could tell the exact sample more late (i´m not at home).

i only put reverb in the "snare 1" track and it was a big room reverb.

if you have more questions, feel free to ask!

thanks again,

Sounds cool man, what did you use for bass/bass processing?

hey, thanks.
my bass chain was:
- LTD ec-404 (active emg pickups) > golden age pre 73 DI input

3 tracks, one with pod farm for grit, second track with bass amp room (i love it) and another track with dry DI track high-passed.

 

[Charlez]

Nice improvement there, sir.

 

[Redline4]

Sounds really good dude. I like the bass drop just like that, crushing your bones. Who gives a fuck if it clips, it's brutal.

 

[eternally_gutted]

haha. yes, i like how it works that subdrop in the mix. maybe 1-2 db less loud. but in that part i like it crushing the mix.

 

[RiffBox]

This sounds huge! Nice mix man

 

[RichMinerva]

Well done dude

 

[eternally_gutted]

thanks. wow, it would be great man! and could you send to me the raw vocal tracks? i´d like to practice mixing them. tempo song is 120.

What reverb did you use?

Giuseppe [giubis]

it´s a room reverb from redline reverb. i think it´s called big room.

 

[osum]

Sounds amazing, I really like it!

Would was your guitar chain?

 

[Mago]

You really have improoved a lot over the year man, at least from what I can remember of your last mixes!
Really nice, altho the subrop destroys everything

Guitars Bass and drums work really nice together, snare sounds huge
Very good job!
