[exzem]

Hi,

I made and mixed this new metal song today, it's a kinda major sounding song for the most parts with some clean stuff.

All guitars are soloC, rhythm guitars are 2 soloC crunch, cleans soloC normal. I'll post settings if someone is interested. Guitars are quadtracked.

Not sure if there is too much bass in the mix.

What do you think about the song?

Fucking awesome man. Great tone, what tuning are you using? C or drop C? I love the drums, sounds huge. I would add some highs to the snare but no too much, only to give a little more brightness. And I really like the song.

upload a drum preset, release a cd, and hook me up

Mmmmmmm, love that drums! And song Any chance to upload superior preset?

Cool song! It's kinda refreshing to hear melodies and riffs using major notes in rock/metal music. There were some small timing issues with guitar/drums.
I think guitar sounds abit dry but it kinda fits the song. I'd add a tad more gain and lessen the mids just abit.
Snare's abit boxy sounding for my taste, some highs could help. Bass also sounds cool, just bring it up abit and you're ready to go.
All around a good mix, I enjoyed this tune alot!!

Nuno Filipe: Thank you! The tuning for this song is drop c.

ballstix: Hehe, thanks but I doubt that I will release a cd

eternally_gutted, Qvid : Thanks, I'll get a superior preset ready soon and upload it here.

Tokyurot: Your right there was some timing problems in the intro part. Fixed it for the new version.

kev: Thanks man.

I uploaded a new version of the mix, same links as first post, changed the snare a bit.

Ok, here you go, got a s2.0 preset together: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1063820/exzem_superior_solution.s20

Output to seperate channels. After I added some reverb on OH,Room and Toms. Also used a high shelf on everything from 3.5k and up boosting about 2 db. And yeah the kick is replaced

Here are the guitar settings: http://files.getdropbox.com/u/1063820/gtrs_solution.JPG

Impulse is s-pres8. Also a c4 with sneap settings in there. Order: soloC->soloC->s-pres8 impulse->c4->Eq.

Anyone else has any opinions about the updated mix, is it too low endy?
