Newer Mix; No killswitch this time xD

[EmilioArteaga]

Local Christian band Endure The Fall. I think I'm getting better and better at using what I have to the fullest because this is starting to come together better than the other mixes i have yet to finish.

any critiques/criticism is welcome. I feel this mix is solid, though for being an instrumental

Nice song dude!

There's audible clipping in the beginning, later on it's still there but it gets masked in the dense mix

Kick seems just a *bit* too loud. Not annoyingly so or anything, but seems like it could come down a bit. I like the guitar tone, IMO a bit dark, but it works!

 

[Mago]

its clipping real hard dude

 

[AerialThesis]

A little less dynamic reduction could help the kick punch a bit more

do something about the cymbals on the right side, they make me want to stab myself.

Can't listen right now but seriously, what's with christian metal bands having "fall" in the name? I must have recorded 3 myself.

 

[barricade]

A ql song but get rid of the clipping!

 

[GarethSE]

thanks, everyone, for the kind words! i think the clipping that you all are hearing is the bass track i have. I ran the bass out to a send that had an eq hipassing at around 500 and lowpassing at like 4k. I heavily distorted that to try to bring out the fret noise. i guess it was a bit too much distortion on it. I'll back off of that. and I also need to trigger the toms.

is this common practice for bass guitar? I'm trying to get a really grungy bass. Kind of like older hardcore-punk albums. I feel like that tone brings more angry emotions to the recordings. I really don't know why, though
