Is it so perfect, so no one can find anything wrong on this mix ?

C'mon guys, say something !

Thanks !

I don't like the guitar sound that much. Like a MT2 that was mixed in there, but only a bit.
There's something about the bassdrum that I don't really like, too, not sure what because
I suck at mixing drums and so on.

All in all, I heard stuff that was way worse, on the other hand, there's stuff that is better-there always will be.

 

[chesterfieldblues]

Yeah, I think second mix is more old school 90's mix, with much less mids than first mix...

Anyone else ?

Here, improved version :

Do you see an improvement or maybe I'm on the wrong way ?

I'm listening on shitty laptop speakers at the moment, so take this with a grain of salt..

But it sounds kind of thin and empty to me.
Sounds like the guitars need a TAD bit more low end, and the bass needs to be brought up.

Ok, what about some kind of comments after listening on some correct systems ? ^^

 

[Mago]

the kick is just too klicky, would net more meat on that one.
also more bass would be nice, maybe it would sound that thin then.
but the overall feeling is quite nice i think

The one thing I don't like...hahahah. Honestly once you get vocals on this, it'll make a world of difference. Since there is no vocals, everyone can pick out nuances of things they don't like, kick too loud, too clicky, guitars too fizzy, not enough bass, etc.

I think it's a good mix as of right now. Don't tweak it too much cause then you'll end up killing it. You're at a good spot right now, so get some vocals on there and see what it sounds like then.

 

[chesterfieldblues]

Thanks for these two last comments, will come back when this song will be completed, hoping I will find some guy to do vocals !

Maybe in between, I will redo some bass track with better presence.

If it's death metal, the scooped sound is the real deal.
On your scooped second mix the guitars sound too thin, so to fix that you may add some on 2-3 kHz and cut some on 5-6 kHz.
The drums sound wesome. What are they?

 

[chesterfieldblues]

Hey, I must say now the second of these three is my less prefered one, as you said, everything is too thin, especially the guitars...

My main one now is the third one.

Drums are made with Superior 2 and Metal Foundry.
