new hardcore mix, first time 'master'

[dankarghh]

hey dudes,
i've put a song up of this EP before, but heres the almost finished product. i'm pretty happy with it it's definitely my best work.

this is just a quick 'master' for the band to promote the EP on myspace. the mix isn't final so suggestions as to how to improve the mix are encouraged and appreciated!

All in all, great song ^^

I think the sound is already well managed, I do not need to be adjusted much more, the song sounds balanced, maybe I would give a tad more brightness on guitars but that is a personal taste, I like your sound!

nice mix, terrible vocals

 

[dankarghh]

thanks guys. the vocal processing you mean sam? it's my first time really mixing vocals so i'm definitely open to suggestions to improve them. i read the many vocal processing threads around the forum, but any ideas are welcomed!

i love this a lot. fits really well for the style. i feel like the vocals could come forward just a wee bit. nonetheless, great mix.

Sounds familiar to me too haha, maybe not the song but the singer and the song writing style.

 

[dankarghh]

thanks for all the kind words guys.
i've posted mixes from these dudes, before, maybe thats why it seems familiar?
drums were recorded in a bedroom with 2 mxl603s as overheads, and some old audio technica condenser under the china/ride.
drums were all replaced with a variety of samples. i think toms are straight maple toms from slate. snare is a blend of about 3 samples, 2 close and one room sample.
drums were bussed and sent to a verb and a comp. i think thats about it?

vocals were at3035 straight into my firestudio. guitars and bass were recorded through the instrument in's of the firestudio too!
i'm glad you guys dig it!
