Ok guys, final call... give me your last minute tips..

[Ola Englund]

So we have a deadline now for our cd, so I'm in a timecrisis right now. So I'm posting a clip from it here and hopefully some of you guys have some pointers and what not. I'd really appreciate tips regarding my lowend since I don't have a subwoofer to monitor it with.

So give me the lowdowns, cause this is the last time before the cd is printed.

Sounds good on my headphones. Low-end sounds fine. If you were to add anything to it, maybe slighty boost in the 110-125k range but not too much. Maybe only +1db or so. That would bring out the bass more without overemphasing the kick or the low end of the guitars. It sounds cool as it is though. I like the bass tone a lot. Other than that, the kick sounds a bit "clicky" for my taste, but I suspect that may be what your going for anyway.

Great work.

wow, takes ages to load. Mix sounds great, though. Pretty powerfull.

What amp are you using

 

[KeithRT99]

sounds good but i think it could use some 60-80hz

 

[theblackmoon]

Don´t you think vocals are not loud enough? Sometimes it gets blurred...

IMO of course.

 

[Ola Englund]

thanks dude, I'll consider your tips.

Sounds great! Vocals are perfectly ok here. Only thing is I think the kick can't be heard very distinctly...maybe a little (and narrow) cut on the bass guitar would help?

 

[Polpotkin]

Dont' kick me in the nuts, but I think it sounds a bit radio. heavy as hell tho, but thin and it lacks clarity. The cymbals are choked.
Not that i'm a pro or anything, but that's my opinion.

 

[LSD-Studio]

sounds great sub-bro!
only thing i could imagine: the guitars are a bit loud so i'd either bring drums vox and bass up a little or (better) make the guitars like 2-3 dB quieter.

like the music!! grooves!

 

[Razorjack]

The lack of a sub isn't a problem (there are too many thin mixes being caused by mixing with a sub in a bad room). The mix needs more definition between the instruments but if there is no time to re-mix then thats the way it has to be.

 

[trym^^]

its so hard it makes my dog weep.
vocals, bass and guitars sound superb, with the drums
you're almost there. kick lacks some definition,
although i like it w/o overthetop clickness.
other than that its a really fine mix i think, where
can i buy your album when its done ??
oh and how do you get rid of the savages feedback
in a live situation ?

 

[kaomao]

Ola this time sounds amazing, the low end rumble on guitar is gone, it's much tighter.
maybe you played with the compression till you got it right, am I wrong?
Make the kick a little bit clearer, making some room for it (example: boosting the top end) and you're done.
Anyway I like it very much!!!
Great job!

 

[smy1]

Sounds superb! Great guitarwork. I agree with the other people on the kick issue. Just some more top end and you'll be done.

Haha, I just *love* the Annihilator style riff in the fade-out. If your whole CD is that good, I'll surely order it!

hehe, this was embarrassing... It seems that my audio card on the motherboard have gone "cp-stört"... So just ignore what I said before. It sounds really good!

 

[Ola Englund]

haha that's funny cause I was just wondering what you meant with your comments... Nice though, to hear that it sounds like a radio is like the worst comment you can get...

Men sånt händer..

Good, very good!

 

[KeithRT99]

Much better! when it kicked in i was like "FUCK YEAH". You solved the bass issue. The vocals could use some De-essing, but it's really not that big of an issue.
