New mix, opinions anyone?

[Masticore]

This is a Lost Horizon song. Power metalz. Started mapping 2 days ago, tracking guitars and bass now. I think its coming along pretty good already as a mix during tracking. Any comments welcome ( 2 minute clip ) New clip uploaded.

sounds like a midi version of a song

I thought the guitar tone sounded perfect with the drums you used. The keyboards though sounded a little to loud. Like the were sitting on the songs and not actually part of it.

Alrights. Im using misroslav philharmonic. Horns are new to me so Ill have to do some research and straighten them out. Dont really like some samples on my SSD but they are passable. As for the cymbals, ill recheck them. Im gonna reamp the bass differently also. I hope that one day it could have vocals, but they are insane, like 8 octave shit.

New clip- beefed up guitars,upped the bass, lowered and processed synths more. http://www.mediafire.com/?qky2kylgbw0

Are the horns really that up front still? At that section it was a different synth, not a sampler. I could use some tips for these horns at this point, I havent been able to find any resources on how to get them to sit better.

I did apply some EQ, it is hipassed near the midrange, slight boost near the top for some air, and a little reverb. Im gonna check out panning options in the sampler to see if I can break the horns up.

Get rid of them?

Maybe it's just me but I think they give the whole thing a very 80's B sword and sorcerer movie sound. I don't think you will loose much by loosing them all together.

Well it is a powermetal song, written by Wojtek Lisicki from Luciferion, and with the vocals its pretty epic. And I think that is what the album is about, Highlander, more or less. Youtube link
