well, pretty damn superb!

I especially like how its not overly compressed, there are plenty of dynamics left.
The drums in particular are great, especially the snare, the reverb tail on the snare at the end made me relook at my own mixes.
Is it you playing everything? the performances are also great.

Really cant give advice on what to improve, I will post something I am working on later when I feel a bit less intimidated!


Well done!

I'd like to hear more bass guitar in there, it's none existant on my iBook speakers.

Otherwise I love what I'm hearing, riffs are great.

I love how the drums sound, but I think the guitar is missing something...250hz 350hz 550hz 3000hz.

I like the bass guitar, it could be a bit louder but it's pretty nice as it is.

That's just my oppinion though. Mind you I'm pretty much a newbie
Ps. The song rocks

I like this...

Constructive: it's very much a "drums first" mix. They're really in your face. They sound cool though. I agree that the guitars are lacking something - maybe some high end. They don't quite sit in the mix and it makes the overall mix sound "unglued" (for lack of a better term).

I love the bass tone. Could be louder in the mix, but it's not completely disproportionate to everything else and cranking it could kill the mix entirely.

Overall, I dig it although as I listen I keep wondering how the vocal sounds. Any particular reason why the vocals were removed?
