NEW heavy metal mix (Real GUITARS + REAL drums)

[DanLights]

I like the latest mix a lot, good clarity on everything, although the snare sounds way too sampled to my taste, but I guess it fits with the music well, same for the kick.

Thanks for the tip ermz! considering the raw tone, I might try having more raw in there and see how we go
Dan, cheers dude. Any tips on the kick dude??

 

[DanLights]

I would try less compression, more of the raw tone, or a different multisample altogether. If it´s not multisamples you´re using, there´s the first problem but I can´t tell

 

[Melb_shredder]

I'll give that a crack.

Don't think I've heard the Mark IV and Invader mixed together before. Not a bad sound you've put together here

I like the last mix as alot, apart from that the bass grind sticks out too much, guitars could be louder too. Really like the guitarsound!
Keen to hear how it will sounds when you drop in the vox.
nice work man!

Well Mago! I'm here to ruin it for you entirely because I can't mix vocals for shit lol! We tracked these last night and I've properly spent and hour or two on them.. Honestly though, I don't like how I've mixed them in at all, I concede I'm really no good at vocal processing as I don't usually get a chance to do much clean stuff in the context of metal.

So guys... How do I fix this???

updated mix... let me know your thoughts guys

Hey guys! Mix with vocals now up! Thoughts please? The snare is fucked, I need to carve it out more and a few other things that have since cropped after adding vocals. Otherwise.. thoughts?
