sounding fucking sweet on my PM-1's. the only thing would be; i feel like the bass, though bringing heavyness, isn't cutting through enough in the high-mids. jazz's have those 3 way eq thiniges for volume control, i usually back down a little on the bass knob to let alot of string come through when recording, cause you can always compensate the lowend later on. and a gritty bass could also help the kick alot on this one. it's got this kinda "choked" hood-vibe now, guess it's a taste thing, but i'm not the biggest fan. other than that: PERFECT. great job. i keep checking your threads and i'm never dissapointed!

Ql! Drums could be more "raw" or "real" sounding for this style and the master could have a little more low-end ... but it's cool as it is! I dig the songs too!

 

[IHHguitar]

This sounds phenomenal, man. Great job!
What pres were you running the OHs and hat mics through?

 

[acappa]

Amazing man! You get incredible results with no so much gear. My respect.

I agree! Solid mix for sure though. All i would have done differently is give the mix a little more low end. Dig the guitar tone!

any chance of getting those parables samples? i'd pay!

This - and there sounds to me like there is too much vacancy between the lowest fundamental of the guitars and the bass. They just don't compliment each other. And I feel the kick drum has a little too much sub frequency content. Needs more of the chest pump instead of ball shake. Just my opinions... I didn't really read all of the thread so the mix can be bounced and finished. Either way, it still sounds great, just what I hear. Great work regardless of my comments.

i totally agree on the bass

but oh well next cd right?
