New Metalcore band I'm tracking!

Just starting to put a mix together for these guys. They drove like 4 hours to come see me and stayed in a tent outside my apartment.. REAL TROOPERS! The music is a little bland for my taste, but I'm sure someone around here will digg.

Sounds cool man, I work with these types of bands a lot. The mix is very wet. I'd relax with some of the reverb and get things more in your face.

 

[raybrochill]

Good call! I pulled out some of the drum and vocal verb as well as changed the snare sample!

Boom!

Snare's a bit loud, but good besides that.

 

[raybrochill]

Thanks for the replies guys! I toned down the snare and vocals a bit. Progress? Profit?

the last one sounds pretty cool in terms of volumes, though I think the mix it's still a bit muddy...

 

[raybrochill]

That's entirely possible! I'm mixing through my k240s since I'm on the road, so I am pretty blind as far as the low end goes. =(

Changed up some of the snare processing and automated the room a bit.

Snare needs more compression and less verb. I can barely hear the kick or the toms. The cymbals could go down a bit, and the guitars could come up a bit.

What do you guys think?

 

[Erik Monsonis]

Kick is a bit loud, but sounds good!

Mix is superb!

 

[raybrochill]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I spent a little more time today with the mix... Hopefully I made some progress.

What did you use for mastering?

 

[raybrochill]

A combo of ReaXcomp, Gclip, TesslaSE, NastyVCS (doing a touch of eq and light comp), Gclip, and Voxengo Elephant!
