Opinions? Celtic Metal inside.

As a follow on,

I wasn't given much to work with in regards to drums/bass/guitars in that the guitars were fizzy, muddy as fuck, the drum mics contained mush and the bass seemingly had the lowend rolled off before it hit the tape.

That said, the traditional insturments were beautifully micd and were a pleasure to work with.


any criticism?

Oh aye, no mastering done whatever except voxengo elephant with no GR or anything, just acting as a "If you go past 0db i'll kill you" thing.

I think that you should rely more on samples for the drums, given that the original drums are not good. Btw, could you post a short clip with just the guitars with no processing?

Only the hihat and overheads are natural on this.

And aye, i'll do it later tonight

I think the rythm guitars and the cymbals are a little to loud

Suggestions on board, saving new mix.

I actually think the guitars aren't very loud at all...

The kick gets lost at times... along with the snare... and the toms in the beginning were a bit overbearing...

Listening on laptop speakers.

guitars sound like they're fighting in the mix when the "traditional instruments" (dont know which ones they are, so thats what i'll call 'em) come in... a little muddy, if i may say...

I'm not quite sure the kick sample fits the mix... but that might just be preference.

Vox might be 1dB or so too loud for the mix... also might be preference...


sounds good otherwise...

One more update!

sounding nice there Gav, a very Opeth voice too!

 

[cobrahead1030]

not too bad overall

the snare kinda bugs me tho, maybe just in relation to the kick...you've got this huge sounding snare with a good bit of low end, and the kick sounds kinda weak underneath it

the mellow section sounds very nice
