Here is a mix I just finished up for a band..... I think it sounds really good. My favorite I've ever done by far! I switched to Rest Inside the Flames for a reference in levels and tone somewhat.....But I'd love to hear feedback from everyone here. :rock:

haha.....and you'd never guess both amps I used, 50 % of each....quad tracked, equal volumes in the mix.

5150: gain-3 | low-6 | mids-9 | high-6 | pres+res-6 |

Ibanez TB100 : gain-3 | low-5 | mids-10 | high-5 |

That Ibanez Toneblaster matched up sooo well with the 5150. I love it personally.:kickass:

**edit**
- Hear is an updated mix.....I boosted the low frequencies on nearly everything, jacked up the guitars and eq'ed them as well. Bass guitar up a little to.o Sounds really good to me, I backed to back this mix with 36 crazyfists new cd everything sounds fairly close. Especially for what I'm working with!!

yeah, I kinda argee with you. Being that I'm a guitar player, I try to not slam too much guitar into a mix......I try to ease the levels up. That why people don't slam me with "that's a guitar player's mix".:lol:

Yeah, I'll probably bump the guitars up a little bit for the final mix.:rock:
 
not bad guitar/vocal wise, but its extremely thin sounding - especially the drums. an overall lack of bass.
 
Yepp, I agree to that missing-bottom-end thing + guitars are too low.
Did you mic the drumkit or is it trigger+samples? If it´s the latter I´d try to get a kinda more *bangy* snare, bit like Killswitch is sounding, more body. If it´s miced try to get some more bottom to it via multiband or EQ. The way it is now sounds a bit (bit!) like older Lamb Of God, but it doesn´t really fit to the music I think ^^
Whatever, nice vocal-job!

ok, I will bring up guitars for sure.....

Only the kick and toms are triggered.

and i'll probably have to put a send on all drum tracks to another bus and boost the bass and mids with an EQ and multiband. Give it some warmth. I see what everyone is saying. THX for the help.:notworthy
 
How far did you go on the high pass with the guitars? As someone already mentioned, the guitars could come up in level a couple dB, and I feel like they lack some low mid body (but that opinion might change when I hear the level come up some more). The bass could come up a little as well, but I think the whole mix could actually use a little more low end. The snare would benefit from a little low end/low mid boost as well.

Overall it's a pretty good solid mix, though. The toms sound great, good tuning job.
