New Song need input + Is someone willing to master a whole album for me? *PAID*

[fabz]

Hey People,

i really need input on this mix. I'm mixing and editing for days and my ears are shot right now. So it would be cool to hear some opinions.

We also need our album mastered. We'll release it via Twilight Zone Records later this year. Just contact me via PM if you're interested.

Thanks boys!

Here's the mix 320kb MP3:

I like the mix. In comparison with other realeases it's pretty dull, though. Could use a lot more highs in general (guitars, drums, vocals) imho.

 

[fabz]

You're right! I'm going to change that tomorrow. My ears are really dead right now...

overall it sounds a little uninspired... guitars sound very dry, snare is thin... lacks excitement. but i guess good mastering engineer could help.

i like the vocals ! but instruments are not cutting it. listen to some great productions and try to match your tone.

a good mix to my ears has something exciting and ear catching. go try to make at least one of your instruments moaaaarrrr exciting! ;-)

Really, the only thing I would change is the snare. It sounds too thin.

 

[fabz]

Ok, so i think i have to change the snare. I will post another mix tomorrow.

The snare is a taste thing. I like it. More brilliance to the mix and some more de-esser to the voices.

Pretty decent stuff! The snare is cool but needs some work, it definetely sounds thin and very (too) dry. Sounds like you put some Transient Designer with loads of attack but no sustain at all, give it some 200hz to beefen it up and put a subtle bit of reverb to make it blend in a little better. I think the guitars are sounding a bit lifeless, i'm still doubting if i think that fits the style of music I think i'm gonna have a shot of somewhat mastering it.

 

[fabz]

Thanks for all the input so far! Keep it coming... Going to finish the mix within the next 2 weeks. So there's time enough to try different things.
I still struggle with making the guitars come to life. I think i need to try other recabinet impulses... maybe i'll go the unusual route and add some ambience to the guitars...

will post another mix tomorrow.

hi

maybe you can add some mid-bass to the snare and toms, and the rolls have the machine gun effect. a little more of bass guitar would also be good. i tried a quick master, cause i like the song. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/6250340/eden2%20mastertest.mp3

Let me know if you like it!

 

[Soundlurker]

Agree on the snare. The toms are too scooped. The drums are a bit robotic. The guitars are dry and undergained. Hope that helps!
