New idea from Dandelium. My first mix with this current setup!

[Erik Monsonis]

Since I lost my own laptop I had to borrow my brother's until I can buy a new one for me.

So I had to get a fresh windows setup, and everything working again (you know, blue screens all over the place...)

Anyways, same shit as always:



Hope you guys like it!!

 

[Matt.CL]

i dig it!, but that snare stands out too much imo

 

[onqel]

a small part of it it reminds me somewhat of a clip I've released myself earlier.. (the beginning of your song and my stuff) http://www.theserinaexperiment.net/nye/the_art_of_nothing.mp3 and thread : http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/rate-my-mix-tone-threads/483944-soloc-real-bass-superior-2-soft-core.html

I'm not accusing you of anything, I just thought it sounded (too much) familiar and I found the reason why on my first try.. lol
(btw, that song is a part of my upcoming album)

 

[Erik Monsonis]

WOW, sorry onqel, it's been ages since I don't listen to that clip (I remember you showed me), but I'll change things on the song so it's not that similar!
That demonstrates we like similar things

I agree about the snare, I'll bring it down a couple dB's

 

[brianhood]

Is it just me or is the guitar tone way too scooped? Maybe my ears are just fatigued since you say it's your usual setup, but to me it's never sounded this scooped before

 

[onqel]

Yeah I also think we like similar stuff, and I'm still hoping for a collaboration one day

 

[philby82]

Can't wait to hear some of your stuff with Javi's vocals

Cheers

Phil

 

[pennylane]

Sounds great for me, as aways coming from you

 

[Keregioz]

Sounds really promising! I agree about the tone maybe being a little too scooped.

Btw, this soundcloud thing seems really convenient for posting songs on forums, I'll look into it.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Details fixed:

Less snare and more midrange on guitars:

 

[dcb]

yeah, guitars are super scooped.... also there is somethign really weird going on with the lowend... seems like there is lots of sub information that is not needed that is clouding the mix.
try a good analyzer and see where you can low pass instruments without compromising their impact.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

I think it's because the bass isn't a bass, but a guitar pitched down one octave (don't have my bass here, nor bass libraries)

Cheers

 

[Dave1978]

I love everything of your stuff. Excellent work. I like the scooped guitar sound more, although the trend goes back to rich and fat mids.

I read a lot of your threads, but I never understand how you make everything work so well together. Your signal chains are sometimes extreme. If I'd do that, it would sound like a compressed piece of paper.

Sorry for my bad english ... I'm working on it

 

[Morgan C]

There's really nothing in the 100-400hz range but the kick. Snare, guitars and bass all need more down there. The guitars sounded bad on my speakers but quite good on my headphones.. weird.

 

[Ola Englund]

So good. I usually stop listening to a clip when it doesn't escalate. For some reason I keep listening to the entire clip with your stuff Erik.

 

[ApeScaleConflict]

There's really nothing in the 100-400hz range but the kick. Snare, guitars and bass all need more down there. The guitars sounded bad on my speakers but quite good on my headphones.. weird.

I thhink that's very uderstandable as the headphones despiting how "studio" capable they are, tend to make things a bit thicker and a better body. Agree with the lack of drive on 300. I bet Erik just C4'd too much on there?

But i have to say that the overall is pretty darn aggressive sounding. Nothing bad really! On my concern it's that Erik's stuff is quite hard to ciritisize so whenever there's a chance shove it ;D
Great work on the way.

 

[MarkG]

Def. something missing below 400, but sick riffs and melodies for sure! Can't wait to hear this with vox.

 

[Erik Monsonis]

I think I fixed the low midrange issue, at least to my exhausted ears (editing drums for a punk-rock album since yesterday, non stop )
