Need opinions

Hi!
I liked the bass tone. The guitars are a bit mid-chrispy to my taste - wanna hear more meat (more solid low mids). The snare should probably have a heavier direct mic to be more balanced with the kick drum: the snare sounds kinda more out of the OH mics at the moment.
 
Thanks dude! You right about the snare, it was intentional to let more oh+room but yeah, the direct mics are not loud enough. Will check the guitars as well. Thought they were lacking clarity and were on the boomy side.

Anyone else?
 
As Nikolas said, more body on the guitars and more presence in the snare. I'm also hearing the high-end (cymbals, etc) a bit muddy and covered by the guitars. Take for instance from 3:00 to 3:15. More clarity there would be nice. Hope that helps.
 
Hi guys

I'm back on this "test project". Not much time to try some new stuff on it lately but here is another track. I think it sounds decent. At this stage, I don't know how to improve the tones as the playing is bad as f*ck (God how is it possible to have such a bad picking technique? It sounds phasey and very inconsistant). For example, when I don't hate the guitar tone on a section, the next section sounds harsh, unbalanced or simply not good. Anyway, I have to find some way to make this sound decent and coherent... How's it to your ears?

Sounds nice man :) The guitars are too crispy yet IMO. Maybe some EQ scoop on guitar presence area? or less mids on amp? (don't know how have you recorded). Apart from that like your mix :)
 
Thanks man for listening and sharing your thoughts. Damn, I gotta check my ears! I was thinking that the guitars were a bit on the bright side indeed but coherent with the OH (just kidding, I check my ears each year and everything's fine hehe..). Well, I'll fix this issue. I think the problem lies in the 5-7khz.
 
Yeah, now it's much better :) Snare rings at 925-935 Hz. Get rig of that ring or leave depends on taste but I don't like that ringy, annoying frequencies :) Apart from that love it - good, clean mix :)
 
Thanks a lot guys for your time and your help, it's much appreciated :headbang:
As for the snare, I quite like the ring for this song. I'll check that out tho. The snare is different (say sample blending) for each song. Not necessary totally different but with a "special colour" if tha makes sense. I'll post the final result when I have time to finish.
 
What have you used for the guitars ?

One guitar for all rhythm tracks, don't remember the exact model but it was a Schecter with EMGs. I reamp through my Engl Savage 120 and my mesa recto cab 2x12. Different mic positions (90% SM57 / 10% MD421) for each guitar and slightly different processing. I have many plugins for the guitars. I had to put 2 stock Pro Tools EQs only with cuts just to "balance" (mainly because of the bad picking technique between each section), SSL channel to color a tiny bit and C4. SDRR, VTM and L1 are also in the chain.

Thanks a lot for the detailed info man !

Snare ringing should be more 'in face', more prominent. 'Special colour' doesn't work at all - it sounds like 'something wrong'. Want 'special colour'? Add more paint!!! Check LOG - Redneck. That snare has litres of paint we talking about :)
