Need help with mix (HC/Beatdown)

[ruonitb]

Hi!

I'm currently mixing a project and since I got a lot of vocal tracks, new bass lines etc., I needed to change my usual settings completely.

I'm having trouble with this mix...

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/602401/fdbkall006-002.mp3

I'm kinda focusing on the low end...it doesn't have to sound clear; there isn't much going on instruments-wise.

I'm usually working with pitched guitar-tracks as bass and this time I got a real bass track to work with.

Drums are DFH with Kick and Snare replaced, 4 guitar tracks with TSS, Solo C, Impulses.

What I'm guessing is that Kickdrum and Bass aren't working together at all...I already made low-cut at about 130 Hz for the guitars (which I usually do at about 90 Hz) and also made a cut for all the other instruments+vocals, so there should be enough room down there for kick and bass.

But well, something just sounds completely weird.


However, I've listened to this for too long now and can't really tell what's good/bad sounding anymore, so I'm happy about any advice.


Thanks in advance.

The mix sounds pretty damn good to me, but those vocals just kill it.

Do you mean the way the vocals are mixed or is it just the way the vocals are (so I can't change it)?

Just want to make sure.
