Need some comments on this remix, quad-tracked gtr, melodic death

[mindcycle]

Hey dudes. I'm remixing an EP my band (Cryogen) released several years ago. I'm looking for some comments or suggestions on the mix.

I reamped the old rhythm DI tracks (which were quad-tracked) through a 5150 and Mesa single rec, created new samples for the kick and snare, along with a few other things. I'm still working on the vocals a bit, especially the backup vox which are quite low in the mix right now. I'm currently trying to get the instruments to sit right in the mix so anything you have to offer helps as i'm kind of at a standstill.

Thanks \m/

In case anyone is checking these out, I updated the mix a bit. I took out the mastering EQ I was using since I felt like it was squashing the guitars a bit. Here's the updated mix.

Hey man, sounds pretty good!

I think its lacking some low end and lower mids, feels a bit top heavy.

Other than that, cool mix and cool song!

Thanks for the listen and offering some suggestions man! I see you have a mix posted above mine here so i'll definitely check that out and leave you some feedback too. \m/

I worked on the low mids a bit, mainly putting some back into the guitar tracks that I previously cut and boosting some frequencies on the bass tracks. I also added the guitar solo into the mix which wasn't previously there. It's still a work in progress so expect some weird cuts and things. Comments appreciated! \m/

Just listened to your latest mix. Everything sounds good, the guitars sound like they could use just a bit more gain and some highish-mids to really give them a 5150 bite. Just my .02

Thanks for checking it out man! I did a lot of eq cutting on the guitars so there may be something I could put back it that will help. I have been trying to give the tracks that 5150 bite without having them sound harsh, so i'm on the same page with your there.
