Details about mix a bit more down!

Amps
2 x 2 ENGL Blackmore (solo's)
2 x 2 Krank (thanks to GuitarHack for Reamping!!)

Drums
I'm not satisfied with the snare sound yet. I'm trying to avoid using samples on the snare...
Kick is a sample of my own kick drum (MMX 22x18 with AKG D112)
Toms are 80% acoustic and 20% sample

Bass
Soundgear bass through DI and tubescreamer in front of it!

Vocals
RODE NT-1A

Toms could probably come up?

Guitar tone is pretty good actually. So if you like it stick with it.

 

[Metaltastic]

Seems like the guitars are a bid cloudy below 600 Hz or so; kinda muddies it up. Also, the solo can definitely come up, and that section where the guitars cut out could use some editing to get rid of the little noises from muting the strings. I dig the music though, and the tone almost has a recto quality to it - great job man!

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Vocals could come up a hair as well.

 

[KeithRT99]

there's a definate mud to almost everything. The snare could be louder. The vocals should be louder, but they sound like they need alot of work. the solo is super quiet too. I can't hear any bass. maybe you just back off the guitars, and clean up the cloudy bits.

 

[Scar_Symmetry]

which Krank?
sounds good buddy, I just think the guitars are too repetetive.

 

[GeertSamuel]

Ok guys.

Thanks for those notes, when I listed to it the whole mix sounds pretty dull.
I really have problems getting a good seperation in my mix..
Guess I just have to probally be a little bit more patient with things.

I will post a new one in the next couple of days!

Updated the post with a new song!!
Embodiment of Lies

http://www.sneapforum.celtiaproductions.co.uk/Funky Animal/Embodiment of Lies.mp3

Snare is now 50% sample of my own Pearl Ultracast

I know. It's bad hé!! I haven't been online in ages...
I think I don't even have msn on my computer anymore ...
Guess I need to download it again...

 

[cobhc]

That new song sounds good, but the sub drop and the intro are too loud compared to the song when it kicks in. I'd love a chance to mix this as well, if you would put the original files up dude.

Funky

Since you were talking about others mastering your song, I was playing around with the Original "Rewrite the Drama" sample MP3 you posted and added a bit of top end to make it brighter and cut some of the lows. Check it out. You might hate it , who knows.
