Need final comments on mix before I give it to the band. Metalcore/Deathcore band.

Hi Guys,

I am 95% done with this mix. Or I think so...

Help me out with some fresh ears please
I need to give the band a final mix soon.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds pretty good over here!

There's some string noise on the breakdown near the end during the pauses.....seems like mostly left guitar. Not sure if this is desired or overlooked.

Thanks man! Did you see my reply on the other thread about Hi Hats in the OH?

It's apparent that I need to listen to string noise..... Again now I can't stop hearing it after you have pointed it out hahaha

I did. And I think you read my previous post here before I edited it!

EDIT: Doh!

Normally I'd just manually chop out any "silence" when an instrument isn't being played.

Yeah I'll chop it out. Hopefully it does not sound to bad or add any weirdness to the track.

It should be just fine.

I have a problem with my own playing when I mute between chugs where my fretting hand makes a little "pop" sort of noise when I mute the strings. It's super annoying and I can't seem to change my technique to correct it. So chopping out all that is a must.

Whats with the Quacking Guitars and tom tom for a snare?

Huh what do you mean? The snare sounds like a tom?

Sort of like the chango sound the emo kids like
