Need help with bands mix.

[Kellii]

So I have been working on this song for ages. It has got to the point where I am sick of hearing the song and hate every aspect of the mix.

I really, really need a fresh set of ears on this one so rip it apart!!!

I'll give this a listen when I get home.

Thanks, let me know what you think Random3! I need to finish this mix asap. I have had it for over a month and I have stopped being able to hear whats bad or good about it.

Im listening on my KRK headphones. It sounds good. Nothing is standing out as out of place. I think some of the songwriting decisions are less than desirable but it sounds good for what it is. Mostly the bridge is kind of meh, but there is nothing you as a mixer can do about that. Leave it be, Nice job.

Thanks a lot Mancompression! Glad to hear the mix is ok.

Guitars are beefy as hell, drums are solid and the bass fits nicely.

That vocal transition at like 00:50 between clean and harsh sounds a little odd but you may be limited by the actual recordings.

In the fast bit at 1:18 the guitars drop in volume a bit much, I know its fast picking and muted so it may be that they are overcompressed for that part.

The vocal effects at like 2:45 and 3:00 are cool and fits the song nicely.

Solid mix, only like two things I picked up on and both really are a preference thing.

I would love to work on something like this, good job!

Thanks a lot for the input. I'll have a look at those bits tomorrow and see if I can make them sound a wee bit better!
