yo

I spent several hours getting a decent bass sound, I think its kindof ok now. I cut the low and high freqz from the guitars, around 150-180 hz I made a little inverse fill for the kick to let some bass cut thru the mix. I think something is not good, still. Should I use c4 or something like that for this? after many hours of mixing I got tired and my ears hear anything acceptable. help greatly appreciated.

dude, the writing is amazing! overall, i think the bass is still a little cloudy but not bad at all..
the bass guitar might have a little bit rumble..

Well, for one thing, the whole mix is clipping pretty heavily. As for the low end, I would use a low shelf on the kick starting around 130hz and down, and take off between 1.5-3db.

love the songwriting, but i think the culprit is the mix headroom, not the actual frequencies. I mean if this instrument fight happened with more headroom it would be very similar to Periphery's kind of pumping kick drums... I can't really explain it with words but just aaaaaaagh

thanks for the feedback guys!
Erik, I m trying to get your point what would u change in this mix for your taste?

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Everything is too loud in that mix, clips a lot and low frequencies fight. I would lower everything until nothing fights and then ease on mastering!

thanks man, I gotta re-think some parts for sure! btw, how do you like Szeged? unfortunately I moved back to Nyíregyháza (300km north)

I really like Hungary so far, I just moved to a new flat in Kláuzal tér, just in the middle of Szeged. I'm gonna stay there at least for 2 more years, so I'm excited about going back to Szeged in two weeks! (now I'm with my parents in Spain)

Viszlát!

yeah, what erik said. You mixed it too loud. Turn down all faders except the master like 12dB and turn up your monitor level until it sounds as loud as it was before and start over.
